No. It is not an offense to open mail that has been misplace into your mailbox. It is an offense, though, to open mail addressed to another individual that has not been placed into your mailbox. However... Mail that is delivered to the wrong address should be returned to the postal carrier, taken to the post office or placed in a postal box to be delivered to the named adressee.

Is it legal to put unstamped mail in a mailbox?
No you can not. The mailbox is for use of official mail that has gone through a post office only. I know of some instances that a mail carrier will not take mail from a box to be mailed if it does not have the name and address of the box owner on it. Meaning that you could not put your outgoing mail in someone elses box to be picked up.
