If I drag files in imap folders in outlook they will show up in eg roundcube/thunderbird as winmail.dat. So I guess this is just a microsoft thing. Would be nice if there were plugins that would add functionality that unwrapped these winmail.dat files.
If i Understood correctly you are looking for a software like roundcube or something right ?.
Not necessarily, but would be a good start. Question is if the imap allows to store these files directly.
that offers ajax based GUI that allows you to drap and drop mails into folders.
Files not mails. .jpg, .odt, .txt etc
With exchange and outlook I was always used to sometimes drag files
into mail folders. Is something like this available for imap? Or maybe a dovecot extension?
(obviously I am not looking for a solution to store them as
attachments to mails)

TNEF format. There are various plugin for various mail readers, but maybe do the world a favour and convince the Outlook users not to produce this in the first place.
