Add batch operations, sync status, and recently received stats

- Add batchDeleteMessages, batchMoveMessages, batchMarkAsRead methods
- Add getSyncStatus to check Mail.app running/sync state
- Add getRecentlyReceivedStats to count messages in last 24h/7d/30d
- Add get-mail-stats recently received counts (INBOX only for performance)
- Add list-attachments MCP tool to list message attachments
- Add batch-delete-messages, batch-move-messages, batch-mark-as-read tools
- Add get-sync-status MCP tool
- Update CLAUDE.md with new workflow examples

+   OR

+```
+1. list-messages mailbox="INBOX" → get message IDs
+2. list-attachments id="..." → see attachments (name, MIME type, size)

+### Check mail sync status
+```
+1. get-sync-status → see if Mail.app is running and syncing
+2. get-mail-stats → see total/unread counts and recently received counts
