Not an enhancement because its WFM at the moment.

Is this an IMAP account or POP3?

Comment 2

[Nicolas]

it's a POP3

Comment 3

[David :Bienvenu]

are you trying to drag the message to an other mail folder, or to a file system directory using windows explorer?

Comment 4

[Nicolas]

directly in my system (in an existing folder) using explorer : My config is Windows XP SP2. Under Thunderbird, I can drag and drop in a new folder.

I'm not sure if I understand comment #4 because it's not a clear answer to comment #3.  When you press Control E in the Windows XP, you get a Window Explorer which is what the term "Windows Explorer" meant.  Thunderbird windows or window panes in Thunderbird isn't really called "Windows Explorer" because of it's look.  Whatever you meant, it would be helpful to update the summary a little with better description of what you meant.
