No. Cyrus stores each mail in its own file. All I did was:
TB | File | Save as.... | "1.eml"
scp root@<imap server>:/<mailbox store path>/<mail folder path>/749\. 2.eml
md5sum 1.eml 2.eml
b98d288357e384b8f58fe332ed65748b  1.eml
b98d288357e384b8f58fe332ed65748b  2.eml
(the md5sum will be different for you, as my mail contains the Received: 
headers from my server.)
Given that I don't think TB changes the email on the server, what TB 
saved is exactly what I received, verbatim, on the wire.
