I would however recommend to configure both because it will make sure 
that nobody can eavesdrop on your e-mail if you use a mobile network 
or a public WiFi.

An encrypted tunnel is also possible.  That can work for telnet, ftp 
and other communications as well as SMTP.  Static key encryption will 
work for a tunnel and is simpler than TLS.  Assuming you have a few 
mobile devices, each can open its dedicated tunnel when appropriate.
With any luck, your phone will support a tunnel.
