I agree. I think the fear is unreasonable. 

Avi,

I assume you backup your mail multiple times per day. That would make
your concern with attempting an OTFE install consistent. :) Do the
following and you will be Ok. 

- Run a backup of your installation, using the TB! backup utility.
Select all options for backup.

- Copy the TB! installation to another location. You could simply give
the directory another name. :)

- Export the TB! registry key to file.

- Delete both directories.

- Install TB! again, choosing OTFE. Restore from the TB! generated
backup.

- If that fails then delete the bad installation.

- Restore your copied directory to the correct location and double
click your registry key export to restore your original registry
settings. It will be like nothing had happened.

You can also run parallel installations of TB!, i.e., separate
installations with separate registry settings on the same machine. If
you're interested in how to to that just shout.
