Subject: [PATCH] Add AutoMapper profile for entity self-mappings

Introduce `EntitySelfMappingProfile` to enable self-mappings (T -> T) for domain entities (`EmailAccount`, `ReceivedEmail`, `EmailAttachment`). This ensures uniform AutoMapper usage in the generic repository, regardless of whether the target type is a DTO or the entity itself. Added necessary `using` directives for `AutoMapper` and domain entities.
