The SupportPress plugin for Wordpress may work for you. I haven't used it in a production setting but have been impressed with how customizable it is. It has a built-in knowledgebase but doesn't support issue creation by email yet. http://www.woothemes.com/2011/07/supportpress/ -- Erin White

Seconded on OpenRoom. We had a lot of luck standing this app up, throwing CAS login on it, and customizing it in less than a month, and the students are all over it. It handles libraries' business rules well, i.e. restrictions on numbers of reservations per person per time period, weird
