Depends.  In a classic Zope user folder, there are no such properties at
all.  In a CMF / Plone site built against such a user folder, those
properties are normally kept in a separate store, the
'portal_memberdata' tool, and "wrapped" around the user folder's user
object.  In this case, you get the wrapped object via:

  from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName
  mtool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_membership')
  if not mtool.isAnonymousUser():
      member = mtool.getAuthenticatedMember()
      email = member.email

In a PAS-driven site, the user object may have the properties you want
already, based on the configured plugins.
