The imapsync FAQ for gmail says :
--useheader 'Message-Id'  --skipsize 

Useless options, normally :
--syncinternaldates --split1 100 --split2 100  \
--authmech1 LOGIN --authmech2 LOGIN;

Ok.
Are your messages well transmitted or not?

Tell us if the problem written is really a problem.
And use 
  --useheader 'Message-Id'  --skipsize
