No. It is not the same as the US Mail. Fax machines are oftentimes located in office settings and the incoming messages are not in any way confidential. The person sending the fax has absolutely no idea who is going to be on the receiving end.

If you do not have permission to check or go through someone else's mail in their mailbox (such as checking their mail for them if they are on vacation), it is a federal offense investigated and prosecuted by the Postal Inspection Service. Charges may include "Tampering with the US Mail" or Intercepting US Mail belonging to Another."

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.
