Yes, but there all also some mails that dont require a password but still are scams, such as sending you to a phishing site.

Oh, and here is a translation of the above for members that don't speak German, I did my best :D

I have a better method that functionates with every email-client
When the mail says you need to enter a password -> Scam
When it doesnt say that -> No Scam

But still remember what I said about this method :P

Same you can do in Gmail and i think that with any other mail provider you can check details, and see from what mail it was sent.
