It depends upon how they accessed it. If the reader is an employer, or a teacher of the individual, you have basically given them permission to read it. If you left your email open, then there is not going to be any liability. However, if they broke into your email account, they could be charged with some Federal crimes. I worked 14 years for the USPs and hope to retire in the following 2. I first learned of the sanctity of the mail during my service. If you read anybodies mail without permission, it is a federal offense......you like religion? who gave us the right to read the letters in the Good Book? oh well, the Postal service wasn't around then Maybe this is why the Church didn't allow us to read them for a while? The point in question is, we can assume or misinterpret what is meant for the reciever. sorry, I before e except after C...turns out to be a riddle. in the word Christ or Christe or chriest you have a consenant beteewn the c and I so rule doesnt apply, the Ei have to be adjoining neighbors

It is illegal for the non-user to access another's e-mail and read it, unless it's with the consent of the email account owner.
