I think you are looking for something along the lines of this:

Write-output ($user["Email"])

Or just $user["Email"] on a single line – Robert Lindgren Sep 25 '13 at 15:48
That works too though I usually like to be more explicit over output using write-output, write-host or write-verbose in order to direct the output to the proper channel – Dave Wise Sep 25 '13 at 15:50

Very true! And also more readable. But for e.g using powershell as debugging tool it is nice to know the shortcut :) – Robert Lindgren Sep 25 '13 at 15:57
