Firstly, you shouldn't need to unsubscribe from your old Gmail account. Keep both old and new. Do you want to forward any new incoming messages that arrive at your old address, to the new one? Go to Settings > Forwarding and turn it on. If you only want to forward a subset of new messages, use a Filter instead. If you want to grab all of your *existing* messages from the old account and move them to the new one, you can do that too. (That generally is not called forwarding because forwarding only happens when new messages arrive.) Go to the new Gmail account, Settings > Accounts, and scroll down to "Check mail from other accounts (using POP3)". Click on "Add a POP3 mail account you own" and follow the directions. You might also need to enable POP3 access at the old account (Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP and click the button for "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)"). Once everything is set up, the new account will start drawing copies of messages from the old account, until it is done. It may take a while.
