thank you Milan, this seems to me a real trouble and I am wondering if it's the same for other users, because I use the categories at least for two usual important tasks: - (maybe obvious) to get a sublist of people (i.e. Team colleagues, tennis friends, restaurants...) and call them one by one, for example - to send email to groups of people tagged by the category field (new message -> click on "To:" -> select the category which belong people I would like to write to, and add all to the list on the right side). I don't know if that's the best way or there are other options, any suggestion is very welcome. Apart from that, as far as I understand it's all in google's hands and we don't have any option at the moment to see labels exported into the CardDAV interface, or are we aware there is any kind of plan for it in the future? And, finally, I am thinking about adding all the categories to the contacts shown in evolution to reflect the google labels (>2k contacts, and some dozens of categories... I can do it manually (argh!), but could there be any semi-automated way?). This would lead to duplicated and not consistent data, and what if in the future google extends the CardDAV interface?
