This can be a 'dicey' question. If the mail is addressed to that person via his former title or position, and can be identified as clearly coming from a current (or potential) business source, then it can be assumed that the mail is the property of the company.
HOWEVER - if "personal" (i.e.: non-business) mail is addressed to the same individual, the employer has no LEGAL right to intercept or withold the mail. While the individual may have left themselves open to being disciplined by their employer for mis-using the resources of the company, under US Postal Regulations it is known as "Intercepting US Mail Belonging to Another" and it IS a federal offense.
