Only the Outlook (which is what I assume you are focussing on) and 
Evolution clients require a connector. Mozilla (and I believe apple's 
mail.app or whatever they have) do not require a connector but currently 
isn't at the level of Outlook and Evolution. However, it seems like that 
may be a decent direction (mozilla) to investigate for the future.
