This has nothing to do with the fact that Sylpheed was running while
portupgrading. The Sylpheed team fixed a bug in the cache code; it
seems that it broke backwards cache compatibility.
Before running the upgraded Sylpheed, remove the old cache files:
find YOUR_MAILBOX_PATH -name '.sylpheed_*' -rm {} \;
This will "resurrect" your mail.
