SO i guess the correct way would then be: for evo->palm: look if we have the adr fields and use them, otherwise use the label and put it into street
for palm->evo: if all entries (for street, country) etc are filled in, build a adr entry and concatenate all so that we get the label. If only street is set, only fill the label Could that work?
