Generally yes, still backup your profile is good idea. I suggest wait 
till beta 3, in Jule 21. It _much_ better for IMAP, since TB2 release.
Caching was introducing by default for IMAP messages. CONDSTORE also 
supported by now, which allow even more minimize traffic. RFC 4978 
landed just month ago. And that just top of iceberg of changes and 
bugfixes are done.
