Great list of useful tools. Thanks for sharing these.
Hey another tool which I would like to add to the list.The tool is DeskAway. Do give it a try.Its powerful & feature rich.

Great list. However I would add another Project Management tool called WorkforceTrack. We have been using this system for more than one year. We chose this system because of its being multifunctional (Project Management, CRM, Accouting, and other 20+ business tools) Another reason was its flexible prices and available discounts for mid-sized organizations. So, if you are interested in this solution, you can get more information from their web-site http://www.workforcetrack.com
Hi there,
Is workfocetrack an open source solution?
Thank you for this list. 2 weeks ago I started to search for a free project management tool. I found Collabtive and installed it. Collabtive is really a great and simple tool for project management (task management and multiple users is really great).
Anyone know of any open source project management systems with decent email functionality built in? The time has come to switch away from Feng Office we’re thinking but trying to find others that allow you to set up POP / IMAP email in seems few and far between.
