New Gmail App has a mute button?!?!

Idk maybe I missed something but the new gmail app has an eyeball with a mute button? Maybe we might be getting video chat SOMETIME in the near future.

Well you don't hear emails with your ear now do you?

but to add, we already saw video chat being worked on for the Motorola tablet by google so it'll come sooner or later. I don't necessarily think this is related to it though.

i think it's to "mute" the email conversation if you don't want to be alerted.

Am I missing something? I don't have a mute button where that's located. I am updated to the most recent Gmail app.

I ran a Gmail update this morning from the market and cleared all my cache and didnt see anything different until I rebooted

Sorry, but I'm still a complete newb.
How do you update gmail?
It's not listed in my marketplace downloads for updating.
Do I just reinstall it over what already came on my phone?

the Gmail app gives you the most innovative features along with the most seamless and tightest integration with Gmail and Google services including INSTANT PUSH email, Contacts, Calendar, etc.
