In the receive tab, right-click the address you're interested in and select 'private key'.
This should work, even if you are offline.  If not, what version of Electrum are you using? Make sure you are using 1.9.8 at least.

BTW, private keys are never sent to or from Electrum servers.


Or, from the console (I've manually scrambled the privkey in this screenshot):
