I'm running OS X El Capitan, and have 3 Gmail accounts signed into it. For some reason, the Erase Junk Mail menu option is greyed out. How can I use this option?

For the pop3 email accounts (if you've left the mail on the server), have you tried going to Settings > Accounts > Check mail from other accounts (using POP3): Add a POP3 mail account you own?
When I migrated my mail a couple of years ago I set up gmail in the apple mail client using iMAP, and manually dragged things into gmail. A combination of that and adding the POP3 accounts took care of my needs, but I wasn't moving 80,000 emails :)
The post linked below looks like it would work, but it'd require some local server administration, not sure if you're up for that.
Obviously, if you went this route you'd have to find an alternative to the mail server since that's windows only
I have no research to back it up, but the rules you may have to be a manual process
You have to "map" the Gmail folders to match what happens in Mail.app.
- Open Preferences in Mail.app
- Go to Accounts and select your Gmail account
- Click the "Advanced" tab
- Enter [Gmail] (yes, with the brackets) into the 'IMAP Path Prefix' field
- Close the window and Save changes to the Account.
