If mail arrives for you at an address where you do not live, the person who does live at that address may return it to sender, or might forward it to you if that person knows where you are, or may choose to just throw it out. Many different things happen to incorrectly addressed mail.

Where I lived before some of my mail would come to that address and some to a Post office box If any of my mail goes to the mailing address and is held by that address could that person be in trouble?

Where I lived before, I had two addresses, a street address and a Post office box address....If and of my mail goes to the "street address" and the person living there keeps my mail, can that person be in trouble for not returning it to the post office? Answer: Usually, if you have filed a change of address with the Post Office, they will forward mail for a year after you move. After that, it is a kindness if the person forwards it; if you have not spoken to them or left an address, then the fault is on you.

What happens to mail sent to an address that does not exist and the return address is wrong too?

Mail sent to a non-existent address with an incorrect return address typically gets marked as undeliverable by the postal service. The mail may be held for a certain period, after which it is often returned to the sender if the return address is valid, or it may be discarded if there is no way to identify the sender. In some cases, postal services may also attempt to redirect the mail if there are any recognizable elements. Ultimately, if neither address is correct, the mail is likely to be lost.
