Gmail App Notifications - Menu Button Missing

[sanfly]

Hi

Im brand new to Android - just got myself an S3 i9305 this afternoon

Im having an issue with my gmail notifications. I still want to receive gmail notifications on my home screen (the app icon where the image shows how many emails) however I dont want it to play a sound.

I googled how to remove the sound, but all the walk throughs start with tapping a 'menu' button (three vertical square dots) at the bottom left in the gmail app. I dont see this menu button - see image below

Any ideas why?

The S3 has a hardware menu button on the lower left of the phone, right next to the center button. Tap that menu button.

Yup, hardware menu button will get you those settings. Some devices have it, others don't. Google was/is trying move away from the hardware menu button and keep it on screen, some newer devices still have it.
