Can't set up iCloud mail aliases

I've been trying all day to set up alias emails under my iCloud account, but keep getting an error message "... can't be saved due to server error". This has been going on all day with several attempts using both a windows computer at work and an iMac at home. Anyone else getting this problem/error message?

I've had this problem for at least 2 months. I also have applecare. They moved it up the chain and the senior advisor-1 wanted access to my email account to look into it. I was hesitant but figured I'd do it for a day or two. After 4 days or so I emailed back and forth with advisor in charge asking how long they would need access because I wasn't comfortable giving them indefinite access. He said he had no idea and it would take as long as they needed. I found that unacceptable and changed my password so they couldn't get into the account anymore.
Almost three weeks later the same advisor emailed me again asking if I had changed my password because they couldn't get into my email account. So it took them 3 weeks to even begin to look into the problem??
I called another senior advisor-2 and told him my original alias problem, and the issue I had with their solution to it (unlimited access). He said that didn't sound right and that he'd look into it. He called back and told me that HIS email account was having the exact same problem and that another senior advisor would contact me. He (sr.advisor-3) did and requested access to my email account AGAIN. I called the advisor-2 who was having the same problem that I was and asked him why they couldn't experiment with his email account instead of mine. His (sr.advisor-2) reply was as lame as the proposed solution, he said because I'm the one who put the help ticket in for it. Seriously? Once again I denied them access to it.
So as of right now I still can't create any email aliases. I've only got one and it says I have 2 of 3 available. My guess is they have no idea how to fix it and are ignoring this issue.
My solution: create another gmail address. Since Apple insists that we use an outside email address for our Apple ID I have a gmail account anyway. Gmail doesn't seem to care how many email address I want so I'm sticking with them.
Has anyone found a resolution to this yet?

To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID. If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account. If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

Not sure what you mean by "within iCloud mail" but if you can't view your iCloud mail inside the Mail app on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then after a few seconds turn Mail back on again.

You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox. See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

Hi,
I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

How can I find my iCloud mail on my iPad?

Can't find my iCloud mail on my iPad.

If you have Settings > iCloud > Mail set 'on' then it should appear in the Mail app. If you are in a different email account in the Mail app then you can navigate up by tapping on the account name at the top left of the Inbox column, and you can then navigate down.

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.
