Never ever ever ever should you be replacing system JAR files like that!
The j2ee.jar file from the J2EE RI includes a version of Tomcat already,
so you are just duplicating a whole bunch of classes and it is
going to cause runtime conflicts.
If you just need JavaMail, the smart thing to do would be to go download
JavaMail and add the appropriate JARs to Tomcat
<http://java.sun.com/products/javamail.html>. You will also need the Java
Activation Framework package -- a link is provided on this page.
Tomcat 4 releases include the JavaMail and JAF jar files already.
