Should I still use tables for this things?
Or is OK to ditch them? I know I can't use anything too fancy, but If I could avoid tables already, I'd be a happy man.

Unfortunately, you'll have to stick to old-school tables and sliced images for layouts. CSS is down to exceptionally basic CSS1 styling for text. Email clients' implementation of modern web standards is like mekk said, 1999-stylie.
