For non-admin users, exim only displays messages which are owned by that
user. Adding "queue_list_requires_admin = false" to /etc/exim.conf will
allow you (any user, actually) to see the entire list.

You should still be able to use runq to force an immediate delivery...
at least, it still works on my system (slink).
adric@glitch[~]$ which runq
/usr/sbin/runq
adric@glitch[~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/runq
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 11 06:31 /usr/sbin/runq -> exim
Perhaps /usr/sbin isn't in your $PATH?
If you want to force exim to deliver all incoming mail immediately, you
can add "smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0" to /etc/exim.conf.
