You're doing a straight join. You need to use a LEFT JOIN to return all the
records from one table and those from a second table that match based on a
common field. Read about joins in the manual and find a resource on SQL
statements - it'll pay off.
SELECT *
FROM accounts
LEFT JOIN addresses
ON addresses.ID = accounts.ID

Use the query above and add:
WHERE addresses.ID IS NULL
