To answer my own mail ...
I've never had to do this before but this is what did the trick to show mail on login and ssh login:
/etc/pam.d/login - add the following line: session optional pam_mail.so standard
/etc/pam.d/sshd - add the following line: session optional pam_mail.so standard noenv
For anyone who's interested.
thank you!
