This expression could not replace Mick's line in the email. The expression "put me through" is used exclusively for phone calls. It is generally used when the caller is speaking to an operator or receptionist (who is directing calls through a central phone system). The caller asks them to "transfer their call" or "put them through" to the person they wish to speak with.
This could replace Mick's line in the email without changing the meaning of the sentence. The expressions "to put someone in touch", and "to put someone in contact" express a nearly identical meaning: the desire to establish contact with someone.
This expression cannot be used in Mick's email. In English, the verb "to join" is not used to describe contacting someone by telephone or by written correspondence.
