   Have you tried OE Classic? It's an incredible clone of Outlook Express.   
   Since it also supports Google's OAuth2, it should mean that it can access   
   newer SSL chipers, since Google servers already using newer chipers at the   
   time they forced the privacy leaking OAuth2 to users.

   As an alternative, you can use the older Thunderbird 52.9.1. It's the last   
   version which still run on XP+Vista. Newer versions no longer support them   
   (sic).   
      
   Like Firefox, the aplications don't use Windows' Cryptography library (which   
   in XP, doesn't support newer SSL chipers), since Mozilla applications are   
   cross platform.
