Menu
I searched online and mostly found answers that it cannot be done.
My case is a bit different as the application we are developing is for an in-house purposes only and can allow any security level in the browser. Its also intranet based.
I also tried to see if there is a ready-made activex control but wasn't able to find one that will allow dragging directly from outlook.
Any ideas?

To fix it, make sure that the Outlook window is active, and press the ESC key several times. After that, you should be able to use the drag & drop feature again. Besides, this might also happen if certain Outlook folders are corrupted which causes the problem with drag & drop.
Outlook drag drop to browser allows you to drag and drop mails and attachments from Outlook (2007 & 2010 – 2016) into web pages and applications like Salesforce. Web browsers do not allow data to be dropped into the web browser directly.
The easiest solution I found is to just create an Add-In for Outlook to add the email to our database.

I found this sample WebApp where you can drag and drop Outlook Contacts to an HTML5 WebForm.
If you drag an Outlook Message directly from Outlook to the WebForm you can drop it, but nothing happens. Maybe with a little tweaking you can get it to work with Messages too.

AT this moment drag-and-drop API in Internet Explorer Browser isn't supported, Microsoft will implement it in IE 10, but i don't know if Drag-And-Drop API will bring you with the functionality that you are looking for.
HTML5 Drag and Drop in IE10 PPB2
For the rest of browsers the API implementation is incomplete
i recomend you to considere alternatives to this approach
