Digging a second time through RFC4314 I found this:

The first example in Sec 2.1.1

"               S: * LISTRIGHTS archive/imap anyone ""
                   lr s w i p k x t c d
"

In conjunction with Sec 3.7

"Following the identifier is a string
    containing the (possibly empty) set of rights the identifier will
    always be granted in the mailbox."

So "" for an empty set is needed.

=====

Now I wonder, why there exists "an empty set of rights" at all?

Shouldn't "SETACL mailbox id" (no rights string) behave differently than 
"DELETEACL mailbox id" then as well? Currently it removes the ACL entry of 
id.

Reading the RFC I get the impression, that SETACL should have three 
arguments always.

Bye,
