Hello everyone! Recently I posted in this community about my thoughts on migrating my mails over from google to apple, as I am already paying for iCloud. Thank you very much to everyone who commented, it was really interesting and helpful to read through!
So now I tried setting up an iCloud mail. It seems the only way to do so is by going to my iPhone/iPadās settings -> iCloud -> configure iCloud mail.
Thatās where I run into a problemā¦ My Apple ID is linked to my google mail email and I want to completely switch to an iCloud mail (which I currently donāt have). So when I now go there and try to create a new iCloud mail it runs into the error message shown in the screenshot (itās German and basically tells me āsomething went wrong, try againā). I looked it up and came across many threads describing the exact problem, but so far I didnāt find any helpful solutions.
I already tried on iPhone and iPad (donāt own Mac), tried over vpn, without using my Adblocker DNS settings (adminforge). Restarting both also didnāt help.
Hope someone here can help! Thank you all in advance!
Edit:
Problem was solved!
Logged off from my Apple ID on my iPad, then instantly re-logged in and went to iCloud -> Configure iCloud Mail -> and I then was able to create an iCloud mail without any problems
You must log in or register to comment.
Log off iCloud from your iPhone and then re-login. After that, go back to create your iCloud email.
I had the same problem a few days ago with my wifeās iPhone. Logged off iCloud/AppleID and then logged back in. No problems in creating an iCloud email.
Sounds like a good idea. Do you know if I will be facing any problems, when logging off my iCloud? Like with face-Id, banking apps or anything? I think I could as well do that on my iPad, right? Same Apple-ID, but less important apps
Perfekt! That was the solution! Thank you very much!

Link to first post:
Might be something that you need to try later. Or contact support if it persists. I would try myself since I also donāt have an iCloud mail but it says you canāt change it once you create one and I donāt need it so Iād rather not.

I tried it on 3 different days before I posted this and tested it again today, so it seems trying later wonāt help. Contacting support might be a good idea. Will do that when I find the time.
