It will normally be 'for' but there are instances when it can be 'to'
This (letter/email) is (addressed) to you.

I would use the phrase, "This is to you," if I found a letter addressed to a friend. I would say, "Hey, this is (implying written) to you. It has your name written on it."
Otherwise, I would use the phrase, "This is for you," for anything that would be a gift for someone else. Like, "Hey, this (present, car, flower, telephone call, and you could also use it for "letter") is for you."
Pretty safe to say, "This is for you," most of the time instead of, "this is to you."
