I was thinking about MyBB.
It has a 'mysupport' mod that adds the 'thread answered / solved' function, and it also lets you set a 'best answer'.
You can have a look at it here: http://mods.mybb.com/view/mysupport
I think the only issue raised around this is "does it work two-way with emails"?
Seems that it has plug-in for posting via email (the other way is trivially supported) http://mods.mybb.com/view/post-via-email
also found this nice forum comperator if you want to compare myBB with any other open source forum software it is very easy to see all forum software features at once (I had tried several and myBB had the best rank) http://www.forum-software.org/forum-comparator

Any more opinions?
Dunno how many people there are on this list?
I love the idea of a forum, with E-mail gateways. The problem with a forum is that we should make sure we poll it frequently, and provide fast answers, as people tend to be more patient on mailing lists as they are on forums. Also, some forums give you score and titles on participation and help you give other users, so this could also be a motivation for users to help one another. Some forums also give the ability to set threads as "answered", and what the answer is, and that's also important as you can sometimes get lost in the information on long E-mail threads.
Didn't get a chance to take a look at the implementation suggestions below, but IMO an option that gives the abilities mentioned above will be the winner :-)

I think that forum for this purpose is much friendly. +1 for a forum instead of the users list.
