I have an unencrypted external storage drive that stopped being mounted or recognized by mac diskutils so I am using PhotoRec to extract files.
I am using all the default options for PhotoRec.
The only file type that gets recovered is 'dovecot' and I get many of them. There were no dovecot files on the drive. I am not able to find much documentation of this filetype and I'm wondering if there are any PhotoRec options that could help.
