[Export Module] Error when clicking "Save as CSV table"

[n0n4me403]

Hi,

I am using Autospy version 4.12.0. I am having issues when saving items to csv, the autospy doesn't fully export all records and it throws error messages in a log file. Here is the screenshot of the error.

Have you tried the newest release of Autopsy which is 4.21.0?

Oh, sorry for my typo. It is 4.21.0.

Please explain exactly what you were doing so that the problem can be reproduced.

Interesting that noone recognized this. I stumbled about this today and can explain further:
While having a simple PST file from Outlook 2021 in the case and going to "E-Mail Messages/Default" shows up all the emails.
Then using "Save Table to CSV" results in the not very helpful message "Error exporting to CSV file"

In fact, there is a file, but it does not contain all the data.

The logfile from Autopsy gives more insights, as it states a missing column:

com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.csv.CsvWriteException: Unrecognized column 'Message (Plaintext)': known columns: ["Source Name","E-Mail From","E-Mail To","Subject","Date Received","Message ID","Path","Thread ID","Data Source","Has Attachments"] (through reference chain: java.util.HashMap["Message (Plaintext)"]) java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.report(FutureTask.java:122) java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.get(FutureTask.java:191) java.desktop/javax.swing.SwingWorker.get(SwingWorker.java:613) org.sleuthkit.autopsy.directorytree.ExportCSVAction$CSVWriter.done(ExportCSVAction.java:374) java.desktop/javax.swing.SwingWorker$5.run(SwingWorker.java:750) java.desktop/javax.swing.SwingWorker$DoSubmitAccumulativeRunnable.run(SwingWorker.java:848) java.desktop/sun.swing.AccumulativeRunnable.run(AccumulativeRunnable.java:112) java.desktop/javax.swing.SwingWorker$DoSubmitAccumulativeRunnable.actionPerformed(SwingWorker.java:858) java.desktop/javax.swing.Timer.fireActionPerformed(Timer.java:311) java.desktop/javax.swing.Timer$DoPostEvent.run(Timer.java:243) java.desktop/java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:318) java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:771) java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(EventQueue.java:722) java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(EventQueue.java:716) java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:399) java.base/java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(ProtectionDomain.java:86) java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:741) org.netbeans.core.TimableEventQueue.dispatchEvent(TimableEventQueue.java:136) java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:203) java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:124) java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:113) java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:109) java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:101) java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:90)

HTH

Is there an easy way around it?
