I have not found any resource on adding oDesk mail to be able send oDesk email using Yahoo mail. The one that is written on site is for Gmail and Apple mail.
In Yahoo mail, this is simply accessed by starting with Options at the upper right portion on the screen, then clicking Mail Addresses under Management. You should be able to see an Add button where you can add a new email address, then you can follow the instructions that is provided.
The third step on adding a Setup Mail Server is not needed anymore because oDesk automatically forwards all incoming emails to the specified email address that you are working on. Just click Skip the Step to get to the verification page.
Do not forget to verify your oDesk email address by clicking Send Verification. Get to your Yahoo account and find the verification email. Click the link on that email that will confirm the verification.
Then you are all set and done. When you try to compose a new email, you will see that you have numerous email options in the From field.
Have I told you that oDesk is a good way to earn part time?
