As of MVC 5 this is how you do it based on this SO question:

var user = UserManager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());
var email = user.Email;

It depends on your code, are you using the email to login or a username? If you are using the email, then call the User.Identity.Name to get it.

If you are using a username, then use the same line to get the username then call the UserManager class to get the User object using the username and then use the email property -

UserManager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());

Put the email in a ViewBag, ex: ViewBag.Email = user.Email.

Read that value in the view @ViewBag.Email

don't know why but in my case Findbyid is giving null. i think you are giving name over there. you should give id over there – Heemanshu Bhalla Feb 07 '20 at 08:10
@HeemanshuBhalla it depends on your user id, usually you have an id (GUID) – Haitham Shaddad Feb 08 '20 at 10:43

User.Identity.GetUserName(); will give you current logged in user's email address.You should check default MVC template for more help.

If you really use identity model, Just call it in view: @User.Identity.GetUserName()

If you have a filed for "email" in your ApplicationUser you can access it without a query getting from claims, eg in controllers you can:

this.User.GetClaimValue("email")
