Don't know yet.  It needs some debugging.
Quoting from #25964:



drag n drop works in sylpheed 2.x with a gtk+-2 version less than
2.8.0.  There has been a request from the author of sylpheed that
people experiencing the issue (that is, people with gtk+-2 >= 2.8.0)
attempt to track the bug/change down and send a patch to the list
because he does not have the latest version to gtk+-2 so he is not
experiencing the glitch in the system.

I too, along with many others I'm sure, suffer from this drag n drop
not working.  I hope someone with some debugging skills can track this
puppy down soon! :)
