CardDAV can also be used by Mac Mail, for example.
But it does not seem that gmail can be a CardDav client (only a server).
I would like something like this except, the other way around - make Jethro a CardDAV client. I think this is far simpler using https://github.com/mstilkerich/carddavclient than trying to be a server.
My use case is that I have a Nextcloud server which provides CardDAV server (and CalDAV). I would tie, potentially different CardDAV accounts to different Jethro groups, which would become categories within those accounts. Recipient names would only be created, not modified.
I have Nextcloud accounts for Church, Youth, Teens and Playgroup. In Jethro I have groups like 930Service, Sound Christian (church newsletter), Church Directory, Elders, Deacons, Youth_2023, Teens_2023 and Playgroup_2023. So I would want the Youth_2023 group to only be on the Nextcloud Youth account for instance.
I may have the same email account within different groups but whereas I may have 'Betty Bloggs' betty_bloggs@someplace.com and 'Bill Bloggs' bill_bloggs@otherplace.com in my Church account, in the Youth account it may be 'Bill & Betty Bloggs' betty_bloggs@someplace.com, thus the requirement to not update the name.
It'd be handy to have Jethro contacts available on my iphone, like my google contacts appear there automatically.
We could do this by using http://sabre.io/dav/ to provide a CardDAV server that pulls from the Jethro database.
It would need to use HTTP basic auth with your Jethro credentials to access.
