For that exact reason XEP-0333: Chat Markers were created:

Abstract: This specification describes a solution of marking the last received, displayed and acknowledged message in a chat.

And later on, from the same specification:

The concept of delivery and read receipts has been popularised by other messaging services such as iMessage, Google Hangouts and Blackberry Messenger. These services provide a visual indication of when a message has been delivered to any of the recipients resources and (optionally) when it has been read. These visual indications (referred to herein as "Chat Markers") are synced between all of the sender's and recipient's resources automatically, so the state of a chat is always consistent. If one or more of the resources is not connected, it can fetch Chat Markers from the Message Archive upon reconnecting.

It should be supported by any MAM-supporting server, so this should include ejabberd.
