adding:
keepdir /var/lib/courier-imap
keepdir /var/lib/courier-imap/authdaemon
at the end of the src_install of the courier-imap ebuild worked for me.
is this the right way to do it?

bye

thanks for the heads up. it looks like that is all that's needed. i'll test it a bit before closing.

i've fixed this in the new version 1.7.1 in unstable.
