Because gmail doesn't actually have "folders" in the normal imap
sense. It uses the concept of labels instead. "All Mail" is, as it
says, all the emails in your gmail account, regardless of what labels
have been assigned to individual emails, including those that you have
"archived" (which is sort of equivalent to expiring in gnus but not
quite). You can access emails in this "folder" from gmail by searching,
for instance, and probably by asking to show all but it's not something
I've done from the web interface so I am not sure.

yes, as somebody else has already replied. What names do these
invisible "folders" have? All of my folders are visible from gnus.

I am not sure I understand this. What does not appear? The email
itself? Have you tried looking at all the contents of your inbox, say
using /o from the summary view?
> This particular message has been there about 3/4 hrs.
and have you updated the contents from gnus?
