I take it that you are attempting to connect to a mailbox from inside the LAN? What happens when you try to connect from outside the network? What is the internal name of the exchange server? Is this name on the certificate?

Check the properties of the Outlook profile. In the Exchange HTTP Settings page, do you have both "on fast networks, connect using...." and "on slow networks, connect using..." selected??

The self generated certificate within Exchange is not supported for use with Outlook Anywhere or Exchange ActiveSync. If you want to use Outlook Anywhere then you must purchase a certificate.
I have outlined the full procedure here: http://www.sembee.co.uk/archive/2008/05/30/78.aspx

CAS Server name is cas.mydomain.com , and I type all the possible names inside the self signed certificate including mail.mydomain.com , cas.mydomain.com , casServerName.mydomain.com , autodiscover.mydomain.com ,  NetBiosCasName .

What has that got to do with things?
That is referring to Wildcard certificates. I made the point that self generated certificates are not supported.
Making that post reminded me of an unpublished blog posting, which I have now blogged: http://www.sembee.co.uk/archive/2008/10/16/87.aspx

When I saw this thread I was pretty disheartened. I wanted to use our internal certificate authority to generate the Subject Alternative Name Web certificate. After maybe the 8th iteration of generating the requests I got it. Here was steps:

New-Exchangecertificate -domainname server01.acmeindustries.com,server01.acmeindustries.corp,server01 -Friendlyname acmeindustriesco -generaterequest:$true -keysize 1024 -path c:\Certificates\certrequest.req -privatekeyexportable:$true –subjectname "DC=acmeindustries, DC=com, CN=server01.acmeindustries.com"

Import-Exchangecertificate -path c:\Certificates\server01SAN.cer
Enable-Exchangecertificate -services IMAP,POP,UM,IIS,SMTP -thumbprint 8428594#####################3A9D

Set-ClientAccessServer -identity server01 -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri  "https://server01/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml"
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -identity "EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalURL "https://server01/EWS/Exchange.asmx"
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -identity "OAB (Default Web Site)" -InternalURL "http://server01/OAB"
Set-UMVirtualDirectory -identity "UnifiedMessaging (Default Web Site)" -InternalURL "https://server01/UnifiedMessaging/Services.asmx"

How long did you spend on that?
Is your time worth that little? SAN/UC certificates are US$60 a year. Sometimes you have to simply say enough and do it the correct way.

Unless the server is not exposed to the internet then using an internal CA is close to pointless, as you will get certificate prompts.
