I can't speak for your setup (and I'm not familiar with mailpress) but it sounds like User Spam Remover would delete your users since they haven't posted or commented. I'd recommend testing the plugin out on a copy of your site if you're unsure. You may want to check out this thread and the linked thread for more info.

I have more than 3000 registered user that contains lot of spams. Mostly my users are registering through mailpress newsletter subscriptions, actually they are not a wordpress default users. They are subscribers and they will reach my website through mail or they will read the post directly inside mail. When the user delete unused accounts I will lost my mail subscribers right...

I'll update to try to make this more clear, but in the meantime, "unused" means "never created a comment, link or post" i.e. there is no record of the user ever doing anything in the WordPress database. WordPress doesn't record if or when a user has ever logged in, so there's no login information in the database for this plugin to make use of one way or another. We've discussed at length adding this feature to this plugin, but for a multitude of reasons (relating to security, performance and activation complexities) I've decided not to add it.

It would be helpful to know exactly how you define "unused accounts". Is it an account that has never been logged in to? Or an account that may have been logged in to, but has never been used to post a comment? etc... Thanks for this plugin.
