I would take the opportunity to migrate my email away to someone who is

That would be hard to do if it was a work provided account. :-)
Any IT manager that did that would find his/her life made as difficult as I could manage for as long as I and (s)he remained at the company; then again I doubt that would be very long - the cost of forcing an entire company to spend a couple of hours per person faffing around copying mail from one system to another is simply unjustifiable.
Migrating email systems is a complex thing to do, but not an impossible one. And if you can't figure out how to do it, you shouldn't be managing a system change, you should either pass it to someone who can or just keep using the system you have.
Incidentally, a question for the OP: why change from Cyrus to Zimbra? If you want collaborative features, wouldn't Kolab do the job (and therefore allow you to keep your Cyrus backend)?
