I can only see the message sender's name, not address!

By default, if the sender, CC or BCC's address is in your address book, Thunderbird will display the person's name but not their email address when you view a message.

To disable this behavior, select Tools > Options (Windows) or Thunderbird > Preferences (Mac and Linux). On the Reading & Display page, un-check "Show only display name for people in my address book".
