I have a personal Gmail account which I use for personal mails and a Google Apps mail account by my employer which I use for my professional mails. It want to access my Google Apps mails from my personal Gmail account. Can this be done?
It is possible to send mails from other Gmail accounts from one Gmail account (by going to Settings → Accounts and Imports → Send Mail As.
Being an avid user of Gmail and Google Apps myself, I know that it's not as simple as it seems, there's a few steps involved.
You have to redirect all of your work emails to your personal one, verify that you own your personal email, verify (again) that you own your work email so you can send mail through that address and setup a filter so that things don't go into super confusion mode. Long!
Thankfully for you, I'll tell you exactly how you can acomplish this! I'm so nice.
Follow these steps:
Login to your work email account
Go to Settings on the top-right corner of your screen and select Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> Add a forwarding address
Enter your personal email, along with a tag, such as: [email protected] where business would be the tag that you associate your work emails to (although this can be anything, make it easy to tell what it is)
Login to your personal Gmail account
Go to Settings -> Filters -> Create a new filter
In the To: field, put the address you chose for forwarding your business mail to (in my example, [email protected] and, on the next step, choose to apply a new label (called Business for example)
Still in Settings, go to the Accounts tab and Add another email address you own
Put in your business email (lets say [email protected] and also specify the same address as the reply-to address and you can choose to use either SMTP server (I usually don't bother)
Accept both authorizations sent to either emails and you're done!
When mail arrives at your work box, it will be redirected to your personal box but with whatever label you chose (in the example, Business). Makes it much simpler to organize your mail in a way that won't consume your time searching for it.
Hope this helps!
Under settings on your personal account, setup send as other account. Enter the detail of your Apps account, this will send that account an authorisation request.
When you log into your Apps account, get the code and enter it under your personal account.
Also, in your Apps account you can forward email into your personal account, AND/OR, setup your personal account to pickup email from your Apps account. The pickup will occur every 30 minutes / few hours, the forwarding will be immediate.
Also, log into your Apps account regularly to check the spam folder, unless you set up a filter to never mark any of your email coming into your Apps account as spam.
Grant access to your account in the GMail & Google Apps Mail settings: mail.google.com/support/bin/…

Simply, forward your Google Apps account mail to your Gmail using Forwarding facility from Google Apps Mail Setting.
Google Apps mail has supported email delegation for a while (as notied by koiyu above -- see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=138350), and Gmail recently added support as well (http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/email-delegation-granting-access-to.html). This should allow you to view each account in a separate tab or window if you wish to.
This is fine if you don't mind having all of your email combined into one inbox. Another way to do this is to just sign into one of your Google accounts, click on your profile photo then click "Add Account" and sign into the other account. You'll have them on two separate tabs but you'll be logged into both and can switch back and forth.
To add another email ID to your send mail as option in Gmail
Go to Settings (gear icon) → Settings → Accounts and Import (tab)
Send mail as: → Add another email address you own.
Fill in the following details in the popup:
A confirmation mail will be send to the email ID you just added. Click on that link to verify or take the verification code and paste it in the box. You are done.
This will add the new email ID you just added to your send mail as drop down list when you compose a mail.
You can use Incognito mode in Google Chrome or InPrivate Browsing in IE8 and above (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/features/safer.aspx?tab=6) to view a 2nd account after you've already logged into your 1st account (or view them both in this mode.)
Go to Settings (gear icon) → Mail Settings → Accounts and Import
Under the Send mail as section click on Add another email address you own.
Next:
Now, when you goto send an email in the 'From' field you'll have a dropdown menu where you can select which email you want to use.
