When I or another service tries to start autdaemond an error message thrown: * You need an /etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc file to run authdaemon But authdeamonrc is not in /etc/courier-imap, but in /etc/courier/authlib.

You are not supposed to use that one at all. Do 'rc-update del authdaemond' and then remove that initscript. It has been replaced by /etc/init.d/courier-authlib a long time ago. Please, read the ebuild instructions carefully next time.
Hmm, okay... But the reason I tried to start it was because some other services failed to start and I thought this was the culprit. For example, I tried to start courier-imap-ssl and the following error was thrown: $ /etc/init.d/courier-imapd-ssl start * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting courier-authlib: authdaemond ... [ !! ] * ERROR: Problem starting needed services. * "courier-imapd-ssl" was not started. Hence, I thought authdeamond could not be started by courier-authlib? Any chance this may resolve itself by re-emerging courier-authlib?
i have the same problem as u do Nes. reemerging did nothing. this is problem of starting courier-authlib (that provide authdaemond) see #98745
