Any actions taken in the Gmail phone application are reflected on the web browser. For example, if you read a message

sGmail is conversation-based: Every related message is grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation tread. In other email applications, replies to messages are sent as individual messages, making it difficult to keep track of related messages.
