Note to the developers: We have to be careful if we make the folder properties dialog non-modal=20 because then the user could delete the folder the properties dialog=20 belongs to while the dialog is still shown. This could quite easily=20 lead to a crash.

I want to re-affirm the need to do this. Let me give you a use-case why this is wanted. If I want to change a folder to be a mailing list; I have to open the dialog; check the checkbox and then I try to drag/drop or copy/paste the email address. This last step won't work since I can't access any emails. (even while I see them on screen). Since I don't want to copy-by-typing I cancel the dialog; copy the email address and start again.
Don't see a reason for a non-modal dialog anymore. You?
