Gmail API: Is there a way to get RFC822 message id's when doing messages.list with a query?

From what I can tell there's no documented way to get RFC822 message id's when listing messages with a query. It would be beneficial for us in avoiding fetching multiple times the same email from different inboxes... Any insights?

You can only get the messageId and threadId of messages when listing them, and a resultSizeEstimate of the entire query.

You have to list the messages and then get them in order to read the Message-ID-header.

Instead of listing X messages and doing X separate GET-requests for the messages, you can use batch requests to only make 2 requests in total for each page.
