Hi, I'm not aware of anything available in the CardDAV interface. The groups the Contacts API used to expose are just not in the CardDAV. The Google did not just close the Contacts API, they have a replacement for it, it's the People API, but there's nobody able to port libgdata project to use the People API, thus the move to the CardDAV interface. > 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'm afraid the Google contacts won't preserver/survive/properly synchronize the Categories with their Groups, thus all of this can be lost some day. Even worse, I just tried to create a contact with a set Category and it was lost/not saved to the server. Maybe once they synchronize the groups through the categories, it'll start working on its own, both ways, but whether they plan any such thing I do not know, it is solely up to them (honestly, it doesn't look like a too complicated task, but they are large and they have their own priorities).
