No it can't. See the release notes for system requirements. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/115.3.2/releasenotes/

Please answer to <email_address>

The installers, for all languages, for the last XP-compatible version:

You will probably find it hard, if not impossible, to add accounts from providers that require modern security or authentication standards. A W10/11 PC can be had for under US$200.

Thunderbird 52.9.1 and Firefox 52.9.0esr were the last to still support the then already EOL Windows XP and Vista.

Perhaps you could dual boot with a light Linux distro (avoid KDE and GNOME desktops) though there are not many 32-bit current Linux distros now. However if your CPU is 64-bit then you have many more options.
