This is not supported by default, but through the custom action in the Outlook Connector you can achieve this:

In this custom action I'm using the following parameters:
Method: Patch
Path: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/{id}
Request: {"categories":["name"]}

Let me know if this works and is what you meant.

Thank you for your support - it looks like it is not possible to shared mail accounts.

We are downloading attachments from a shared account and want to set a category to processed mails. Looks like its not possible...

You can't do it using delegate permissions because there is no MailboxSetting.ReadWrite.Shared permission so that endpoint can only be used to access the current users Mailbox setting when using delegate permission. You an use Application Permissions and the Client Credential flow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-oauth2-client-creds-grant-flow if you need to limit the scope of your application to a number of Mailboxes you can do that as well https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-limit-mailbox-access
