Message heard loud and clear:

There are no error messages, the output is the issue.

Question: What sorted function should I write to produce the desired
output, below:

Instead of iterating over "count.items()", iterate over "sorted(count.items())".

Desired output:

04 3
06 1
07 1
09 2
10 3
11 6
14 1
15 2
16 4
17 2
18 1
19 1

Latest revised code:

count = dict()
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")#
handle = open (fname, 'r')#
for line in handle:
     if line.startswith("From "):
         address = line.split()[5]
         line = line.rstrip()
         count[address] = count.get(address, 0) + 1

lst = list()
for key,val in count.items():
     lst.append( (val, key) )
     lst.sort(reverse=True)
     for val, key in lst[:12]:
         print key,val

I don't know why you have a nested 'for' loop; just iterate over the
sorted items and print them. Simple.
