I am not aware of any servlet issues at all, tomcat for example
should provide all necessary libraries.

Specially the ParserDelegator class should be part of a
JDK since Java 1.2 as far as i can remember, see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/text/html/parser/ParserDelegator.html
and
http://developer.classpath.org/doc/javax/swing/text/html/parser/ParserDelegator-source.html

Not sure what you mean with "to work ... to resolve these problems",
but in general the answer is yes.
Finally i would like to mention that Sun do a great Job for Javamail
with the mail protocol support and with the supported mail servers
and IMHO it will not be easy to get to the same functionality.
