Email Conundrums

Having graduated (woot woot! yes, more on that later), I'm now facing the issue of changing/forwarding emails.

Problem 1: My @berkeley.edu account will soon (and apparently without warning) shut down. It has been my primary email for 4 years, and all my important accounts are linked to it.

Problem 2: My current @gmail.com address is a very unprofessional address. I wish to make a permanent and respectable email account that I can use for years to come. Something that is easy to remember and not embarrassing to have on a resume.

To solve the first problem, I have slowly started using my Gmail address for other online accounts. To solve the second problem, I have created a more professional Gmail using my name, not my 9th-grade AIM screen name. This however, creates:

Problem 3: Should I forward my new Gmail to my old one? Or should I forward the old to the new, which would allow me to slowly phase out the old one. Option 1 has the advantage that I keep my Google Calendar, Reader, Photos and Chat contacts. Option 2 has the advantage that Gmail will import all my contacts and email from the old account, and I can slowly but finally phase-out my incredibly difficult and childish AIM screen name, and I can consolidate all my emails into one, clean account. But this comes at the cost of losing my Google Photos, Reader, and Calendar.

Are there other options? Please give me suggestions!!
