Please note that to use the feature to find out the email mark has been read in Gmail, we must use a Gmail account that is specifically for school or work and this feature must have been activated by the school or work Administrator (in this case it could be the IT section) through the Google Admin Console. So, if we use regular Gmail Email from Gmail, we still can't use this feature. Perhaps, in the future Gmail will develop similar features for ordinary Gmail accounts.
