I know it is illegal to put anything that is not stamped in a mail box but I also would like to know if it is illegal to open a mailbox for example you are lost and need an address would it be illegal to open a mailbox to see what the address is on an envelope?Yes, it is illegal. It is a federal offeense to open a mailbox or tamper with a mail box unless you are employed by the USPS.
it is a federal offense to open anyone else's mailbox. Just the other day I saw someone stuff trash in my mailbox and I reported them immediately.
a mailbox is a thing that mailmen put letters in but some people have to go to a local postshop and have a special key to open the little door with their mail inside.

Yes. It is illegal for you to open anyone else's mailbox for ANY reason. You are not allowed to put anything into someone's mail box, either.
The post office has a web site and a 800 number you can call to talk to a human. Often when the mail isn't put into the mailbox something is wrong. The box is broken, open, or not in the right place. Are you sure it wasn't stolen? Lots of mail is stolen these days.
What kind of mailbox? A residential mailbox? A rural delivery mailbox? A mailbox in a parcel store? An official USPS mailbox? All are offenses, the last one especially. The fact that it turned out to be empty is immaterial. You didn't know it was empty when you broke into it, your intent was to open it and gain access to whatever was inside.
Put it back in the mailbox and send it.

Only the Post Office, it is your personal mail. No one else is suppose use your mail box or take anything out of it, if they get into your mail box, that is against the law and they should be reported to the police department.
