I am talking about "best practices". You should use SeeAllData=true only when you have to access existing data.
Try test mehod like this 
Public Class TestcontactDuplicatePreventer
{
   Static testMethod Void contactDuplicatePreventer()
   {
      Boolean result = false;
      Account firstAcc = new Account(LastName='xyz',Email__c='test@testDomain.com',PersonEmail='tes@smwElse.com');
      insert firstAcc;
      try{
           Account secondAcc = new Account(LastName='xyz',Email__c='test@testDomain.com',PersonEmail='tes@smwElse.com');
           insert secondAcc;
       }catch(DmlException ex){ result = true;}
      System.assert(result);
   }
}

Hi,
I recomend you to remove (SeeAllData=True) and create first Account manually in test.

The second(duplicated account) insert wrap into try-catch block and Assert that code reached catch statement.
Hope it helps.
