Tomcat is missing an important jar file for email. It's called
naming-factory.jar and you should be able to download it from the
internet and store it into Tomcat/common/lib and then restart tomcat.

I was able to get by the error that I was running into by downloading a version of naming-factory.jar that includes all the classes needed.  I also added a step to what I posted earlier.
 
So far here is what I have to resolve this:
1.  Copy mail.jar and activation.jar to tomcat/common/lib
2.  Download good copy of naming-factory.jar, remove old one and copy in new one to tomcat/common/lib
3.  Insert the following into server.xml  <GlobalNamingResources>
<Resource auth="Container" name="mail/Session" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="yourhost.smtp.com" />
4. In the email element tag make the JNDI name Session
5.  Insert the following into web.xml
<resource-ref>


  <res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>


  <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>


  <res-auth>Container</res-auth>

  </resource-ref>

Now the issue that I am running into is: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost port: 25.
If you have any input on this, let me know.  I am just beginning to research, McAfee was my first guess, but after shutting that down the problem still was there.

Would there be anything more to do that drop the activation.jar and mail.jar files into Tomcat/common/lib and restart VXML server?

I have found my own answer. it is working now.
I have to use the Tomcat\conf\web.xml and not the the Tomcat\webapps\CVP\WEB-INF\web.xml
 
==============================================================================
I have followed all these instructions to get the CVP 7.2 email ellement working and I'm getting this "LinkageError"
What could be the problem?  I have put both of the jars in common/lib as suggested (here, and in other site).
