"Problem Turning On Mail" when creating an email address for iCloud Mail with an iPhone
As per the Apple iCloud User Guide, "Create an email address for iCloud Mail" article, I turned on "Mail" in "Settings" and followed the instructions. I was able to identify an email address that is not already taken and proceed through the steps. However, when I press "Done" at the "Confirm Email" step it produces a dialog with the following:
"Problem Turning On Mail
There was a problem turning on your email, try again
OK"
I tried again, multiple times. It does not work.
This issue was also reported by Ntxdude in Apple Communities as "problem turning on mail." In response, ijustwantmyrefundplease reported that turning on Location Services fixed the problem. I confirmed that I already have Location Services enabled.
iPhone SE, iOS 14
