You don't say but I suspect you are seeing this message when you ask 
eudora to check for mail, yes? If so then the problem is that Demon 
don't supply a POP3 mail which is how I suspect you will have Eudora 
configured. Demon deliver mail via SMTP which Eudora does not support 
for accepting mail.

What you need to do is either get my AdDMail utility (freeware) from 
ftp.demon.co.uk, the /pub/mac/addmail directory or to set up MailShare 
(or Apple Internet Mail Server as it is now called) also freeware.  
AddMail acts as an SMTP back end for Eudora and in use is very nearly 
transparent.  MaiLShare implements a POP3 server on your Mac.
