Can I stop the automatic read function on the stock apple mail app?

Hello, I am using the stock Apple Mail App, but I want to stop the automatic read function. When I click on an email and then go back to the list of emails - I want it to remain unread unless I long press on it and manually mark it as read. Is this possible on iOS 13 / 14?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

reading mail on my iPhone 7 plus When I am reading mail I scroll down the list going back in time. At some point I might follow the string of answers and questions in one particular message to months back in time. When I have finished I want to get back to the top of the list - I have a lot of mail and it can take a long time scrolling back to the top. I have tried a trick of searching for a mail that I received recently but that only works if you have a good memory. Is there a quick way to do this, to get back to the top, to the most recent email; a particular gesture or a request to make? I get very frustrated with the scrolling - someone out there must have found an answer.
