Cannot create an alias

Hi,

An alias is another account associated with your Microsoft account. If you're having trouble removing alias and creating a new one, refer to this
article and go to
Remove an email alias section to help you change and delete your old alias. After doing so, see if you can now add a new alias. There are also steps on how to change your primary alias in the given thread.

Disable new search bar in Outlook 365

OK. There is a way to disable this new search box in Microsoft Office 365. For Outlook:

1. Open Outlook 365.
2. On the lower left-hand corner click options.
3. In the User Interface options under the General Tab, click the checkbox Collapse the Microsoft Search box by default.
4. Click OK.

The search box will now disappear. However, disabling this option would only work on that application. If you open Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, you will need to do these same steps to disable the search box (if present) as well. Let me know if this works for you.
