It would be great if it would be the case. I wouldn't care that my message
can land in recipient's spam folder if the recipient would be wise enough to
look into that folder from time to time and check if there isn't something
important there, then click on "This is not spam" button and receive my
further emails without issues.

However, from my experience, it isn't the case. Users almost never look into
their spam folder unless someone tells them to do so. They don't even
realize that there might be false positives - they simply think that there
can't be anything important in the spam folder, because it's called "spam".

It's quite understandable because as the number of Internet users grows,
most of them don't know anything about how Internet works and treat it as
some kind of "magic". So, unless someone tells them a few words about how
spam filtering works and that there *may* be false positives they don't see
any reason to look into spam folder as they believe that this "magic" has
magically filtered out all spam - and only spam - for them.

And even if someone tells them to look for a message in the spam folder,
they often just leave the message there and don't click "This is not spam",
as they again don't know how it works and what are the results of clicking
that button.

Remember that I'm not telling about technically savvy person here, I'm
telling about an average Internet user who has little to no knowledge about
how all this thing works.

Maybe you're right, however from my experience, I don't have trouble with
any recipient except Google. About a year ago I had a very brief issue with
Microsoft, but I managed to contact someone responsible at the receiving end
(it was a small company that hosted their email at Microsoft) and he
probably complained to Microsoft support - I don't know exactly, but the
issue disappeared after a short time. No other problems.
