Meteor user is undefined when accessing data

EDIT: The problem has been solved. I recently changed the publish rules which caused the emails not to get published to the client.

I have a problem: I am trying to send a notification email upon a form submit. This is the code

var fl = Meteor.users.find({_id:owner});
console.log(fl);

var email = fl.emails[0].address;
var html = Blaze.toHTMLWithData(Template.new_assigned_task_email);
Meteor.call('sendEmail',
      email,
      "[email protected]",
      "You have a new task offer!",
      html);

the variable owner is a user ID. console.log(owner) returns the correct id, console.log(fl) returns the user object. However, calling fl.emails[0].addressgives me the "TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'fl.emails[0]')" error.

is there anything that I am missing?

Meteor.users.find returns cursor and you need to retrieve user as js object.

Try:

var fl = Meteor.users.findOne({_id:owner});
// OR
var fl = Meteor.users.findOne(owner) 

console.log(fl);
