What is the Post office doing with mail for which they absolutely can't locate both, the addressee and addressor?
Do they throw it out? Or maybe store them somewhere? How long are they storaged? A decade? A centuary?
Can a third party get some of those mysterious mail in someway or another?

The US Postal Service started the Dead Letter Office in 1825 to deal with undeliverable mail - when all other efforts at locating the addressee or addressor are exhausted, the mail is opened and any valuable contents removed are sold at auction.
Similar offices are common in the rest of the world's postal services.

It depends if you put your address on it or not if you did then it should come back to the sender if you didnt it just travels around the world until it gets burned up

Same place the socks that loose their partners in the wash do.
