The source code to an early version of 5.0 was what became the Mozilla project, which is still very much a developing effort and not at all stable last I checked. No source code to 4.x or earlier browsers is freely available. I don't use Netscape for mail - I've found it quite stable except for the DNS resoluytion problems (which I've solved by running a local copy of squid and passing off the DNS resolution and caching to that). However, I know lots of other people seem to be experiencing the same problem as you are.
