Make sure you are using the local name of the server in your outlook setup.
For example, if your mail server is named "exchange" on your internal network, but is called "mail" on your external mx record, you must your "exchange" in the server name when setting up the outlook profile. Also you need to make sure the name you enter in the OA settings in Outllook matches the certificate. As for buying a cert, I could not get OA to work until I purchased a cert. I used GoDaddy. I want to say it was $30. However, I have not set it up in EX2007. Also check this blurb: "Exchange 2007 apparently depends on a number of subject alternative names. If you don't have your subject alternative names on your certificate in the correct order, and they don't match the correct common name on the same certificate, you can look forward to hours of troubleshooting Outlook Anywhere Access from Outlook 2007 clients. Oh, give us back the sheer simplicity of Exchange 2003 and RPC/HTTP."
