So, if you want to list all unlabeled messages, just create a long search string containing every label that you have defined. Be sure to include the "-" character in front of every label. This ensures that messages with these labels will be EXCLUDED (remember, you are looking for all messages WITHOUT Labels.) You can also optionally include the hidden "inbox" Label to exclude anything in your Inbox.
For example, if you have defined the Labels "Family", "Friends", "Ebay", and "Support", you would enter the following string into the search field (note that the labels are not case sensitive) to find all Unlabeled messaegs:
-label:inbox -label:family -label:friends -label:ebay -label:support

"john.doe+amazon@gmail.com". That way, whenever you get future emails addressed to that address, you'll know that it's either from Amazon directly or from someone to whom they sold your email address.

For example:
label:doctors label:statements has:attachment before:2004/5/21 in:anywhere
would return all messages with both Labels of "Doctors" and "Statements" containing attachments, sent before May 21, 2004, existing anywhere in my account including the Trash and Spam views.

The "plus" method of addressing lets you add additional words to your account name (the "left side" of your email address.) For example, if your email address is "john.doe@gmail.com", you could add "+club" when you give your email address to members of a club to which you belong. So, your email address would now be "john.doe+club@gmail.com". But why would you want to do this? Think of the "plus" word as an extra "keyword" or "tag" that you can use to better manage your messages.

You ask them to reply to "john.doe+nope@gtmail.com" when sending you a responseif they don't want to come

if you have three pages of messages, only the first page will be affected if you click "All"

when you perform an action on a conversation such as "Print", "Move to Trash", or "Report as Spam", you are affecting ALL messages in the conversation.

Gmail Tip #26: Creating a Pseudo Address Group!
Gmail currently does not provide the facility to send emails to a Group or a List or email addresses. But thanks to an excellent tip submitted by "arianj", we now have a very doable workaround! Read on to see how to set up a pseudo Group Contact...Although Gmail doesn't currently support Groups in your Contacts, you can simulate a Group list by doing the following:
1. Create a new Contact
2. In the "Name" field, enter the name of your Group (eg "My Friends")
3. In the "E-mail" field, enter your list of email addresses in the following format:
friend1@gmail.com>,<friend2@blah.com>,<friend3@foo.com
Note three things:
1. You must enter ">,<" (without the quotes) between all addresses
2. Be sure NOT to include a leading "<" or trainling ">". This is intentional, because during auto-complete, Gmail adds these characters to the beginning and end of the full string that is in the e-mail field.
3. Also, there should be no spaces in the string.

Plain and simple, clicking Gmail's "Archive" button simply means that the message gets moved out of your Inbox--nothing more, nothing less
