I suspect this is an OS X only issue.  I finally found the configuration files that sylpheed 3.1.1 is using on my machine, and they are in a very specific OS X place:

~/Library/Application Support/Sylpheed

Previous versions of sylpheed used ~/.sylpheed-2.0.

Was this an intended change with sylpheed 3.1.1?  If so, is there a way to force it to use the previous configuration files?  I could use a symlink to do that, but seems a bit of a kludge.
