What excuses can be used to get out of a subpoena?
Once a subpoena has been properly served, there is not much that one can do to legally elude their responsibility to the court system. However, the operative word is "properly." If a subpoena is dropped off at a place of business or delivered by mail, one could claim "ineffective service." Individuals who serve subpoenas must be able to testify to a judge that they indeed served the subpoena properly (they must be able to verify that the documents reached their intended recipient).

Is there going to be an answer to my question?
Can you testify without subpoena?
Yes, you can testify without being served with a subpoena if you are willing to appear in court voluntarily. The subpoena is used to compel the attendance of a reluctant witness. Sometimes even someone willing to testify without a subpoena is still given one. This is to give formal notice of the court date as well as to ensure the appearance of the witness in case the witness changes his or her mind or finds the trial date to be inconvenient. It also gets the person out of work if the employer doesn't want to let the employee take the day off.

Is there a fee to subpoena a person to court?
This probably depends on the state. In most states there will be a fee to file the paperwork with the court and have a judge sign off on the subpoena order. Then you would have to have the order served. In most cases this must be served by the sheriffs office and the sheriff's office will charge a fee for this. In other cases this can be served by an uninterested third party that will sign "under penalty of perjury" that they have delivered the subpoena. In addition to this, you may have to reimburse the person you have subpoenaed to court for mileage traveled, parking expenses and often an hourly charge at rates determined by the county. If you win your case, you may be able to force the losing party to pay for all of these expenses.

What happens if you don't pick up a subpoena after a police officer calls to tell you have to appear?
Nothing.The person calling could have been ANYONE. How were you supposed to know it was a police officer?Now, if you were officially served, the word subpoena comes from the Latin phrase sub poena which means "under penalty" ... the penalty for not appearing generally being that a bench warrant will be issued for you. However, a phone call from someone claiming to be a police officer does not constitute service of process, and no court should penalize you for ignoring it.Be good and sure you haven't been officially served first, of course. If someone came up to you and tried to hand you some documents and you dropped them and ran off, nothing about service of process requires you to take the documents or readthem, they just require that you be given them.
Will a divorce court judge grant a subpoena for your spouse's work email?
The answer depends on the the jurisdiction - and of course, the judge. Usually you must show the judge sufficient proof that the work email contains critical information relevant to your divorce. Although it is not the same as a search warrant, if you think in terms of what is required for a search warrant, you won't be that far off from what would be expected if you wanted to subpoena a spouse's work email. It may be simpler to approach the employer who actually owns the work email (in most jurisdictions employers own the email, not the employee).
