Problem with Web-Addin for the new outlook (Restrictions)

Hello,

my problem is, to create a replacement for my current VSTO-Addin.

First a short description:
This add-in ( i called it "outlookaddsubject") is available, when an e-mail is opened.
The user can attend the current timestamp (date + time) to the subject by click-button.
It' s working fine and the staff needs it frequently.

But i have to prepare for the new outlook.
During the last few month i had spent a lot of time to create a replacement (web-addin).
I started as a beginner in javascript.

I have been trying to test this example:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/get-or-set-the-subject
It alsways shows: "setAsync is not a function".

I had to recognize, this is only available in compose-mode and NOT in read-mode (when a received e-mail is opened).
Overwriting a subject is NOT allowed in new outlook.
My second option is, to forward the current mail and then set the subject.
In javascript i see no chance, to work with the item-object, but i have been informed, that "microsoft graph" would be helpful.

Is there an experienced expert anywhere and could give me some advises, especially using of "microsoft graph"?
Thanks for your help!
