I don't see this kind of issue, not so strong at least. Also, a square 
is not needed: once the mouse pointer turns green and doesn't have the 
forbidden icon, it works.

I do however notice that the "hot areas" aren't defined well, they seem 
slightly shifted compared to the folder name. I don't know where this 
come s from and if it is GNUMail or GNUstep.

This is of "no information" for me and others. Latest GNUMail release is 
according to:

http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/GNUMail

1.2.2 of Oct 26th 2014, after it was imported in gnustep-nonfsf.

Checking the ChangeLog of current SVN, I see that after 1.2.2 release 
several fixes flowed into GNUMail, but none related to folders and 
drag&drop.
