My Boss Opened My Mail

This morning I received a call from my work place. A woman informed me that I had an old paycheck to collect. She went on to detail that she was the new manager, and that she OPENED MY MAIL to see if it was an “active” check (it is). This seems highly inappropriate and possibly illegal. I feel like if she was that concerned about the check, she could have called me or confirmed with payroll? I don’t feel comfortable at the prospect of working with her in the future. Opening my mail feels like a major boundary violation. I’m not sure what to do going forward- I’ve called HR and left a message about what happened, but am skeptical anything will actually happen. Thoughts?
