Currently in our process model we pick email address from process variable which picks the old email address. What we required some expression which will grab the new email address of the user.
Could anyone let me know how it can be done. I have created a new expression rule which will search the user the firstname and lastname and pick the email address but only picking the old email address here. We need to pick/grab the other email address of the user like if user old email is abc@myworld.com than it should pick the new email address abc@myworldwide.com

My suggestion is to design a process which maintains a sync between new email addresses column and the 'email' attribute of the User object. This gives you a long term solution and there isn't a need for making short term fixes on need basis.
Bear in mind that short term solutions (such as modifying the email address by making use of an additional rule etc) should be applied in all the areas in which email address is used, which in-turn might become cumbersome.
