Document viewer API only Renders the Deleted Folder of a PST File in .NET

GroupDocs.Viewer Product Family

I have been testing the rendering of a PST file by the Group Docs Viewer and it can only render the "Deleted Items " folder, and items within it.

I have a simple test using a PST file produced by my Outlook 2016 install with a single email in its Inbox Folder.

I have also run the pst file through the free web api but it also does not find anything. Not even the deleted folder.

Am I missing something or is this a defect in the Group Docs Viewer?

The source code is bellow - is is using GroupDocs Total 21.9

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestPst()
    {
        FileLogger fileLogger = new FileLogger("./output.log");
        LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();          
        ViewerSettings settings = new ViewerSettings(fileLogger);

        using (GroupDocs.Viewer.Viewer viewer = new GroupDocs.Viewer.Viewer("test.pst", loadOptions, settings))
        {
            ViewOptions viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources("./result_{0}.html");
            viewer.View(viewOptions);
        }
    }
