Marking read or unread inbound conversations apply to all the users. If a message is marked read by one of the users, it will be seen as read to all the users in the team.

Mark All as Read - marking all conversations as "read" allows users that the message has been read or attended. It does not let the senders know that you have read their messages.
Hover your mouse to the message box to mark it as read.
Mark as Unread - it allows all the users to know that no one has read the message yet. Users can also mark the messages back as unread.
Users can mark a message as unread to flag it for follow-up, respond later, or may want to re-read it. It does not send a notification to the sender that a message has been read.
In the message channel, unread messages are marked with a blue dot beside the contact's name.
