According to what I've read, that's actually not activesync that is
refusing to work with one, it is the device/carrier...

Sometimes you can get around this limitation by posting the cert on a
web accessible URL, then navigate there using the device's web browser,
which *will* let you accept/install the cert, then activesync will just
use it... but it doesn't always work either...

If its not broke, don't fix it - also, its not like real certs are that
expensive, unless you need a lot (ISP, hosting reseller, etc).

Well, aesthetics is one thing - that's a personal preference thing, so
there is no 'right or wrong'... but as for the ports and 'ease of use' -
the method I'm talking about does *not* require the end-user to manually
designate a different port, that happens automatically through a redirect.

Its definitely most useful for browser based services, though (webmail,
browser based management services, etc)...
