No, it won't. If you read again my messages, you would understand.

I want to emphasize it again: EVEN if people WANT your mail, and even if
they EXPECT it, they WON'T look for that mail in the spam folder unless
explicitly told to. Period. Confirmed multiple times, with many different
people.

And two things are to be added:
1) The advice to look into spam folder works usually only retroactively, not
proactively, ie. you can tell the recipient to check their spam folder AFTER
the mail already got there, and this works, but saying this in advance, like
"if you don't get email from me, check your spam folder" usually doesn't
work.
2) The advice to look into spam folder usually works only one time - the
next time mail gets into spam folder, you have to tell the recipient again
to look for it there.

Of course there are always exceptions, but this describes the behavior of
majority of "ordinary", non-tech-savvy email users, especially users of
large mailbox providers like Google or Yahoo.
