[plug] routing problem

[Adrian Woodley]

A temporary solution could be to point the iPad directly at the laptop's 
local IP and NAT the incoming connection through to the mail server over 
the tunnel.

A better solution would be to expose the mail server onto the Internet, 
using SSL/TLS to encrypt it. No tunnel would be necessary and the iPad 
would work completely independently of the laptop, on any available 
internet connection, with a comparable level of security.
