I have configured exim4 on my Debian system and I am able to send emails from the server as a user and receive emails to this user. I am also able to connect mail client such as thunderbird/bluemail and I can use these to send emails but what I am unable to do is read them.

When I use i.e my Gmail account and send email to my @example email account it reaches the server, and the mail is saved in /home/user/new directory but I do not know why but either programs can not read those emails.

Exim is a mail transport agent. It doesn't support POP, IMAP or other protocols commonly used for retrieval. You probably need to look into installing something like Dovecot or some other IMAP daemon.

Some links that may be helpful.
