I was laid off a couple of month's ago.
Out of curiosity, I sent a test email to my old address to see what happened. There was no bounce back reply from the server.
Does that mean my mailbox is still active and someone like my old boss has control of it now?

They retain the mailbox for legal reasons, but no one wants your emails.
Bounce messages can leak all sorts of information, so they probably block them.
Yes.
Dude Nobody wanted to read your emails then and they don't want to read them now.
Yes, that’s a possibility. At our job when my coworker was laid off, my boss had access to her mailbox for the next few months or so.
