Hello Nila,

I do not think you can do that. Google considers a thread as a conversation And a mark on any message in the thread means that that the thread needs attention. Not necessarily the right thing, but it is the google way.

Is it possible that we can mark one message from a thread of messages as unread? For example, if I want to mark only the last message which I receive from a person from a thread of messages which includes my mails too. I’m asking this for gmail.

I disagree with you. My most common action is to mark an e-mail as read and then immediately archive it (for e-mails from an automated notification system or e-mail replies so short that the whole response appears in the one line summary). In this case, the action I want is that the e-mail remains “checked” after I mark it as read, so that I don’t have to “recheck” it in order to archive it.

Yeah..
The checked items remain checked even if you archive the item, label it with something.. etc..

I click on the anchor labeled none as soon as I take the desired action.

if you archive a few mails and go to all mail or to any label with which the mail is labeled you will again see it checked.
