I am looking at different options for a spell checking option to be used in an email web app. It would presumably need to be a JavaScript option using AJAX, but I am open to other ideas as long as the server side component is Java. I am already looking at JSpell. Does anyone know of any other tools/libraries that would do this?

Speller Pages is good. You can use GNU Aspell installed on the server.

Neither Speller Pages nor GNU Aspell use Java

True, but it wouldn't be difficult to program something to use Aspell.

Both are commercial products and the second one is only supported in IE and Firefox.
