Thank you.
I have tried this plugin, but Woocommerce does still not allow duplicate email address when checking out, even when using this plugin.

well, currently there's no way to get away with how woocommerce handle customers in terms of duplicate emails... there's no hook available..
but using that plugin and editing woocommerce file will let you have what you want...
you can edit plugins\woocommerce\includes\wc-user-functions.php and remove these lines:
if ( email_exists( $email ) ) {
return new WP_Error( 'registration-error-email-exists', __( 'An account is already registered with your email address. Please login.', 'woocommerce' ) );
}
not advisable though.. but can be done for the meantime... then you just have to remember to edit the same file in all coming updates of woocommerce...
