I'm using Outlook 2016

According to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2752583, method 2, we can set the ForceOSTPath registry entry to change the location of the .ost file.

However, I've found that my Gmail account in IMAP access has created the .ost file in the default path instead of the path pointed by ForceOSTPath.

So my questions are:

Is this a bug?
Or is it a "feature" and/or a known bug?
Or is it because my Gmail account is using IMAP?
Or is it because my Gmail account is the secondary account in my Outlook profile (the 1st one being Exchange account)?

Thanks in advance
