How do I merge two Gmail accounts, or at least have one be an alias for another?
I have two Gmail accounts:
- email1@gmail.com
- email2@gmail.com
I would like some way to merge both of these accounts into one and have both emails be aliases for that one account.
My primary email account is the email2@gmail.com but I use other services with email1@gmail.com. I'm OK with having the contents of one of those accounts destroyed.
How do I go about doing this merge?

I use the following setup:
Under Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP, you can forward email from one account to another.
Under Accounts and Import, you can add additional email addresses using "send mail from another address." Select "Reply from the same address the message was sent to" to have Gmail pick the correct address automatically when you reply.
With this configuration, you will receive emails addressed to both accounts and can send from both accounts.
