There is no option to specify a specific number of messages, only a minimum.
So minimum 0 would include all members.
I have made a suggestion for this: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/enable-email-list-generation-for-members-with-0-posts.11349/

Same situation for members - you can't search for members with less than a certain value, only a minimum value.
User pruning also isn't available yet but it has been requested.

oh hopefully its available on next update

With 0 likes, I doubt it.

The number of first post likes doesn't necessarily determine whether a feature will be implemented or not, but it does give the developers an idea of which are the most desired.

You can do a round about way to get the emails of users with 0 post count and then mass email them from your email address. You can do that by running this query at your phpmyadmin:

SELECT email FROM `xf_user` WHERE message_count = 0;

Whereas to delete users with 0 posts, run this other query, but backup your users table first.

DELETE FROM `xf_user` WHERE message_count = 0;

And adjust the db prefix to your own if you are not using xf_ as your db prefix.

What if I want to delete 0 post users who have not visited for a year?

There is no user pruning feature. You would have to delete them individually through the Admin CP. And again there is no search criteria you can use in the Admin CP.

It's not recommended that you delete user records directly from the database. That ignores associated records in other tables.

So basically there is no good way to proceed with deleting 0 posters. This will likely be addressed in a future version.
