also make sure to remove duplicate lines in the export

Answer 6 · 2024-05-01T06:34:01.000Z

@Divide-By-0 here's a new version: https://github.com/zkemail/archive.prove.email/blob/pst_scaper-test/util/pst_scraper.py
Try if it works with your .pst file

In the new version, the crash you reported should hopefully be fixed, and it should also filter out any duplicates

@Divide-By-0 Now I have pushed the latest changes (the updates that you tested with your outlook dataset) to main branch. Feel free to close this issue.
