The latest version of Thunderbird for XP SP3 is version 52.9.1.

<https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/52.9.1/system-requirements/>

You need XP SP3 with update KB2763674 to install Thunderbird 52.9.1
directly.

IIRC Thunderbird 38 should have an option to set the account settings
manually. Copy the settings from your other PC running Thunderbird.

You need to tell it that you want to set it up manually. TBird
is a pain that way. It tries to set things up automatically and
then just refuses to add the account when it fails. But somewhere
along the way there's an option to just tell it to shut up and
let you do it. I just don't recall the exact steps.
