Are there plug-ins or add-ons for Outlook Express that can make it
easier to use?

Is there a way to get Outlook Express to display the actual email
address along with the name? It tends to just display the name and hide
the actual email address.
 
Not in the header, but if you view the message, then look at File menu,
Properties you see it.

MS intentionally disabled the ActiveX interface for OE, to make MS Outlook
from Office more viable.
 
As an alternative you could try http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
Thunderbird can be configured in many ways, and also be enhanced with
extensions to suit your needs.
It is safe to install and have it import your email settings from Outlook
Express, both will function happily together. Just keep in mind that
email you receive in one, will not appear in the other unless you are
using IMAP based mailservices (in which case mail is -synchronised-
instead of retrieved and deleted from server.)
