I am trying to recover deleted items from an ost file, but I get only one item. Other tools can recover a lot more. Link to log file from 'pffexport -v -m recovered [name hidden].ost >log.txt 2>&1'

pffinfo 20200808

Personal Folder File information: File size: 650616832 bytes File content type: Offline Storage Tables (OST) File type: 64-bit with 4k page Encryption type: none

Message store: Password checksum: N/A

Note I limited the node (footer) data to 32 bytes

libpff is open source, if you want to help improve the recovery methodology go ahead
