I've been trying to follow this and I think it finally makes sense.  It
was an interesting approach, though :-)

So if she needs email, what about browser-based email to any of the big
freebie hosts?  If she has a smartphone, then she can surf, and so even
if she can't use the native mail application on the device because of
whatever her provider is doing she should be able to surf.  You might
even go as far as a VPN to let her surf wherever -- which then, I expect,
puts directly emailing back on the table.
