As you are alluding, this is more a latex problem than an org
one.  Getting an email address to wrap is difficult.  The only solution
I can think of is to suggest a hyphenation point in each email address
you have in the table.

You can suggest hyphenation points using "\-", as in:

  | Listed item | Some text here | this.email@\-shouldbe.wrapped |

This works, but is not pretty...  but I don't think you have much in the
way of alternative options!

HTH,
