I would appreciate if e-mail address of any person in header (To, Cc, From; and BCc in sent) would be shown.
I see name only, but it is not enough. I need to see also address, but no way how to show it,
expect from saving the person as new contact item.

You can configure K-9 Mail to show the email address by unchecking Settings > General settings > Display > Show correspondent names
.
For the feature request to display both the name and the email address see

Many of my contacts use different email addresses. If they write from an email address which is not yet stored in the contact information then a saved contact can't be assigned and displayed, so it would be good to see the email address, and add it to the saved contact. Unless the email address is somehow related to the real name it's not easy to see who has sent the email.
On the other hand, I've recently received a couple of emails with a well-known real name, but a faked email address, If I only see the real name of an email containing a link to a web page I could easily assume this has been sent by a known person, and click on that link. However, if I can see the email address which is obviously not related to real name I can easily identify the email as phishing or spam.
So I'd really prefer to see both the real name **and** email address in the email list view as well as when the individual email is displayed.

But I would like to see both of them.
It is very inpractical to go to general settings from each message, to see name, then address; and then repeat the settings cycle for each message/person.
I need to see name as well as address.
It is standard since 1990’s and Pegasus Mail in text mode of MS DOS.

I agree. Seeing both correspondant’s name as well as the corresponant’s email address in the message veiw, at the same time, would be great.
I added my request on github here

I have read #1119 but I think some points explained here are different.
I hav… e multiple e-mails addresses for some contacts (multiple emails for "Home" type and multiple emails for "Works" type).
1. In a received message, I can't easily see what is the real email for the sender and for the recipient.
Expected :
- Display in a smaller font size the email address just under the contact name
- Or, at least, touching the contact name display the email address
- Or, at least, show in the long press copy toast the complete email address
2. In a composition box in the "To" field, I can't see the email address after having selected it.
Here it is less problematical because it is possible to touch the email to see which one is selected.
Expected :
- Display in a smaller font size the email address just under the contact name
3. When sharing a text or a file from another app, 2 contacts are now suggested.
For me, it is always myself for the 2 contacts.
a. How the selected contact selection works ?
b. It is impossible to see which email will be used because the 2 thumbnail are identical (the same text and the same image is displayed for the 2 contacts) .
Expected :
- First line of the suggested contact is for the name
- Second line of the suggested contact is for the email
