This clearly does not apply to the OP.

Presumably, if the letter was delivered to the correct address then it has been delivered correctly. I always open mail delivered correctly to my address to pre-emp any issues later.

No, the law says "incorrectly delivered to him", not "incorrectly delivered to his address".
