You can identify spam email by seeing if it conforms to the CAN-SPAM act of 2013. This act applies to mass emails sent with advertisements or solicitations. If such an email does not give you the option to unsubscribe, lies about where it was sent from, does not give a physical address, and does not clearly say that it is an advertisement, it is spam.
The only reason your email would be in the recievers spam box is if they marked your email as spam from a previous email you sent them. If they have marked your email as spam tell them to go into thier spam box and press "this is not spam" button whatever that is.
Phishing email is considered spam. Phishing emails send you links disguised as communication from companies you would trust. Any email that is dishonest about who it was sent by is spam.
Spam is email that is unsolicited and impersonal. It is often generated by computers and sent to as many people as possible. Sometimes it is just annoying and other times a spam email may include viruses or malware.

Most spam email contains links to unsubscribe from the emails. It may work but since most spam is sent to random email addresses ( that may or may not exist) clicking the unsubscribe link will more likely tell the spam sender that the address is real making your email address more valuable to them for resale. You can't stop spam from being sent. Much spam originates in countries not subject to American anti-spam regulations and no laws passed in this country can do anything about it. Spam can show up in your inbox, spam or junk folder or any other email folder depending on how email is configured and the quality of the spam detection software. If you know it is spam, DO NOT reply to the messages. If you open the email (you should not), do not click on any links. If they are not already in your spam or junk folder, flag them as spam if possible, and delete them.

Cell phone spam is like email spam. The only difference is that it's sent as a text message to a cell phone instead of an email to an email address. The only sure-fire way to stop it is to block texting, which can be done by calling your carrier.
This depends on your email system. Often there is a folder for spam or blocked email. You can click on the word "spam," "junk," or "blocked" in the list of folders, usually near where you would choose your "sent" mail or your "inbox."
