In the UK it is not an offence to open mail addressed to someone else.
In UK the Post Office Act 1953 prohibits the opening of 'any postal packet' which ought to have been delivered to another person.
An offence only arises if it is opened 'wilfully and maliciously' with 'intent to injure another person'.
Furthermore the Postal Services Act 2000 prevents postal workers from interferring with post during transit.
So in law yes, in practice no, since you would have to prove that the opener was doing it maliciously.

Technically yes... unless you have permission.

Other people may, in certain circumstances, be considered to have tacit permission. Generally speaking, you probably KNOW if one of the exceptions applies in any given case; if there's any doubt in your mind, you should either avoid opening it or contact a lawyer first to make sure you're legally in the clear to do so.
