I only mention emails with no labels (i.e. only in "All Mail") and emails which have labels. To
get the first emails, you have to sync "All Emails", which leads to duplicate (or even more)
emails when they have two or more labels - not ideal, as it eats up HDD space (you could argue
"cheap") and bandwidth when synching (not cheap everywhere...).

Cheers,
