Can not create new iCloud email address

I am trying to turn on iCloud email on my iPad Air 2, which requires creating an @icloud.com email account. I get an error message (repeatedly) of “Problem Turning on Email, There was a problem turning on your email, try again”. Can not find solution via web search.

on my iPhone 8+, after selecting “Done”, it doesn’t create an iCloud email address but resets back to the iCloud main page (with the tog switches for iCloud).

Any constructive feedback would be appreciated.

Cant create @icloud email address via iPhone hi, sorry for the Swedish but you get the point. When I try to create and confirm a @icloud email address I get a error message that says “ A problem has occurred, please try again”. I have tried for weeks but still get the same error. Any one who can help me find a way forward? [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]

Cannot create an email address for iCloud Mail with an iPhone I was trying to set up an iCloud email address using my phone. When i found an available address it failed to create saying: Problem turning on mail There was a problem turning on your email try again However, trying again shows the same problem. I've seen this problem online but the only suggestions that seem to work are signing out of my Apply account, which deletes everything from my phone. I'm not satisfied with such a scorched-earth solution.
