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. > Any that I have created thru the gmail interface do not show up as > subscribeable.
