Agent may select methods to have customers emailed their responses/updates.
Of course the customers email must work.

No it doesn't have to be on the same server.

The server will generate 'error' tickets stating that it's unable to
send/retrieve messages.

Out of the box... agents have to use the web interface.  A list member
posted a workaround which added agent functions via email (not sure of the
specifics).
