During initial setup, they prompt you to configure mail migration via imap.  You enter the old imap server, username & password, and google simply sucks the whole mailbox content over from the old provider.

For *mail* it should work great.  But imap obviously doesn't support contacts/calendar.  (Or tasks or anything else you might care about.)  You just have to export those things individually, manually, and import.  Their calendar & contacts import tools are pretty straightforward.  Built-in to google apps.
