Why would Documents be problematic? I don't see many bugs reported showing that the checks are actually wrong. E.g. bug 949712 linked here says nothing about the wrong detection, it seems to be a quirk of the Windows Vista folder picker (I think Vista is no longer supported) that it wants to pick folder imap/imap. Actually if we did not have the checks, the user's Local directory may be crated in a different location he wanted (unnecessary one folder level) and he would have bigger problems correcting this. So that bug does not belong here (as a case supporting the bug here). I can understand the support problems when users have manually set the Local directory to some folder outside their profile and then forget to migrate it to a new machine. But AFAIK Outlook also supports putting the pst file backing the whole mailbox anywhere.
