Q: 

How can I export just a single field from MySQL?

Rather than export the entire table, that is, fname, lname, address, email, etc. how can I export JUST the email field to CSV or Excel?

+3  A: 

You can query the database and export the result.

Example: SELECT fname FROM users INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.csv' directly from mysql command line

or

SELECT fname FROM users and export the result of this query from your favorite mysql client

Just add WHERE condition. SELECT fname FROM users WHERE id > 10000 INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.csv'
