Are there any FREE standalone support applications out there?
Like an email system as If I had staff using outlook express no-one would know what emails have been replied to and if someone downloads emails no-one esle gets them. So are there any standalone applications (.exe) out there that will get around those problems, and are any FREE?
Thanx ;)

I think you would have a better chance of finding something that is web based. This way all of the emails are placed into a tracking system so you will know which have been replied to and which have not. Something like PerlDesk may be something you should look at.

http://perldesk.com is the URL (and yes, it is free and generally is well regarded).

Perldesk looks really complicated to install. Any Tips? Any PHP alternatives?

I do believe that there is a phpdesk as well that offer functionality that is close to perldesk. You may want to do a search for it here in the forums as I don't have a url for it.

There's phpsupportdesk, which is very nice, but not free.

Ticketsmith is nice. :)
