I have windows Mobile 5 and 6 working with a wildcard cert for use with ActiveSync. It took a while to get working. In the end, I needed to added the intermediate cert to the device to trust the cert from the server. We use DigiCert and works well. Digicert also allow us to create a wildcard cert with an additional name for the server as well as *.domain.gov.uk we can also have mail.domain.gov.uk on the same cert.
