In IIS7 when I "Redirect requests to this destination" on my Default
Web Site to go to https://mail.company.com/owa all visitors that go
to http://mail.company.com are redirected.

The problem occurs when my users try to mobile ActiveSync their
phones. Syncing takes them to a Outlook Web Access light page. I
have never seen this before but believe me, it is actually going to an
OWA page when you press Sync in ActiveSync. Once I turn off the
redirect, everything works correctly.

Is there another way to redirect http://mail.company.com to
https://mail.company.com without it breaking ActiveSync?

When you do the redirect by telling IIS to get all its content from the /owa
VDir, then all other VDirs become inaccessible as a natural consequence.
This means that you need to find a different way to do the redirect. A less
disruptive way is to create a Default.asp page in the Default Web Site that
just contains the text:

<% Response.Redirect "/owa" %>
