How to consolidate Email Accts. Help!

Sorry to post here, but I can't get the answers I need from the Gmail staff or other email forums, so I turn to you all.

I want to get rid of some accounts. This is the goal - Get all emails (don't care about contacts) into one NEW GMAIL account. The two accounts that I need to save emails from are HOTMAIL and an old GMAIL account. I have to create a new account because the old one is used for business.

I have over 1000 emails in Hotmail and about 500 in Gmail that I don't want to individually forward...plus, if I do that, they'll be sent by me, which isn't helpful.

I looked at Mark Lyon's GmailLoader, but it doesn't seem to work for people. Does anyone have any suggestions? Clever tricks? I use TB or FF for Gmail and FF for Hotmail. I even have a pop account (Road Runner) if that should need to come into play....

Thanks so much,
Stephanie
