Have you considered the IPAQ line?  The IPAQ 3970's are really nice, the
next model up has WLAN access built in, with Thumb Pad Biometrics for
security,

There are many VPN clients for this device, us GPRS to get data back and
forth when WiLAN is unavailable.

Blackberry also rings a bell, their PIM device has access in most metro
areas. (But may not be encryptable) (See RIM's Site to see what they have)

Considering that this is e-mail you need, in most cases it is transferred in
plain text across the Internet (unless you're using encryption), consider
the weakest link factor.
