Ahh, I see. If my memory serves correctly (since I'm not using Linux on
this machine), the util-linux login doesn't read /etc/login.defs; only
the login program from the shadow package does. This could explain why
you're not getting mail notifications on your Maildir when you log in.

However, I don't know of a solution, apart from installing the shadow
package yourself. I wouldn't suggest it though.
