These are weird requests. I enabled the forensics log of Apache and  
this is what it came up with for these packets:

+24647:5c308a50:0|OPTIONS  
/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?User=xxxx&DeviceId=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&DeviceType=WindowsMail HTTP/1.1|Cache-Control:no-cache|Connection:Keep-Alive|Pragma:no-cache|Authorization:Basic  
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=|User-Agent:MSFT-WIN-3/10.0.17134|MS-ASProtocolVersion:14.1|Host:mail.example.com|Cookie:PHPSESSID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+24647:5c308b42:5|OPTIONS /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync  
HTTP/1.1|Cache-Control:no-cache|Connection:Keep-Alive|Pragma:no-cache|Authorization:Bearer|User-Agent:MSFT-WIN-3/10.0.17134|MS-ASProtocolVersion:2.5|Host:mail.example.com

The first is what I expect for ActiveSync connections, but the second  
looks like some kind of probe for the connectivity to the EAS server,  
rather than an attempt to actively exchange data. Look at the  
difference in the ASProtocolVersion and the absence of any identifying  
data.
