Thanks for creating this high performant library for parsing PST files. Has anyone used this to extract contacts from a pst file ? If yes can you please share pointers. Thanks.

At the MAPI level, contacts are simply messages with PR_MESSAGE_CLASS=IPM.Contact and can be located in an arbitrary folder (though often one that is aptly named "Contacts" or so). They are represented in libpff with item type LIBPFF_ITEM_TYPE_CONTACT, since libpff parses PR_MESSAGE_CLASS as a convenience.
