I'd love to know the research on this... 99% seems a bit far fetched.

Homer Simpson once said, “Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove 
anything, Kent. Forty per cent of all people know that.”

I can’t provide real research and I believe as well that 99% is exaggerated, 
but in my experience it’s more likely that a given random person is NOT 
regularly checking his spam folder than he is checking it. That‘s why I only 
vaguely wrote „vast majority“.

Some years ago an important email was sent to several hundred employees. The 
email was classified as spam and routed into the respective spam folders. One 
day later, about 10% of the recipients had moved the email out of their spam 
folder. Of course the others could have read it in the spam folder (and left it 
there), but it seems unlikely that a large amount of users checked their spam 
folder, found the legitimate email, read it, but let it sit in the spam folder. 
 Based on the feedback of the sender a lot of recipients weren’t aware about 
the contents of this email.

I can’t say whether 10%, 20% or 30% are regularly checking their spam folder, 
but based on my experience it’s the minority.
