print value of email field from a node
As it's an Email field, you need to query the array for email not value:

$node = node_load(14);
print $node-&gt;field_contact_email[$node-&gt;language][0]['email'];

// Outputs:
youremail@example.com


If you're intending on rendering the email address on a page, you should look into using field_view_value, which will give you a string of HTML markup for a field value. The benefit of this, is that it will use the rendering function for what ever field type you supply it with.

$node = node_load(14);
$email = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_contact_email');
$output = field_view_value('node', $node, 'field_contact_email', $email[0]);
print $output['#markup'];

// Outputs:
&lt;a href="mailto:youremail@example.com"&gt;youremail@example.com&lt;/a&gt;
