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!
