I just tried Polymer under windows (btw, try googling for Polymer and 
you don't have a chance of finding it, Infotrope Polymer is the right 
search term) and it's a bit too basic: either I couldn't find the option 
or it doesn't even allow to select the sort order, neither it can thread 
the messages.
As per the tablet it says that Telomer (the tablet version of Polymer) 
is even more stripped down, with several key features not working 
(though I didn't try it yet).

I'm currently tunneling imap through ssh with compression enabled.
