"All Mail" isn't a folder precisely, and it's not a label either.  It is
literally ALL your messages ... with or without labels or tags or
categories or priorities ... except for Trash or Spam or unsent Drafts.

If it looks like only 20 messages or conversations are there, perhaps that
is because you are seeing only the first page.  Look in the upper right of
the screen for something like "1-20 of 247" next to the arrows to move
forward/backward through the pages.

"All Mail" has never failed to show me everything I've got, other than
Spam/Trash.

*has:nouserlabels* should find every message that has no user label
assigned to it, even if it might be part of a Conversation whose other
message(s) do have user labels.  But if you are trying to locate messages
without labels, "*has:nouserlabels*" will indeed do that.  One screenful at
a time.

Personally, I find Gmal's Label system very logical and easy to use.  If
you are still having trouble understanding it, let us know where the
trouble lies.
