email in exim incoming queue is not getting processed -- Please help

[Daniel Bird]

I didn't read the last bit of your mail properly! It sounds MS is
processing your mail.

What does your maillog say?  Or your exim log?

Sorry, I didn't read your mail properly! It sounds MS is processing your
mail OK if new mails are delivered.

What does your maillog say?  MS should give an indication of how many
messages it sees in your input queue

Or your exim log? Any unusual events there?
