FreeScout

FreeScout is a free, open-source shared inbox and help desk for teams handling customer email. Organizations host the application themselves and can add commercial modules for automation, reporting, customer portals and external connections. Paid module licenses cover one installation. Email, ecommerce, collaboration and API options depend on the modules installed, and server operation remains the customer responsibility.
