hi Raymond,

you could try
Code:
apt-get install -f
to repair broken packages and afterwards
Code:
dpkg --configure -a
again.

It may be worthwhile to run a file system scan beforehand. in case the file system got corrupted and damaged important system files as a result.

Cheers, Tom
 
Not working right now,
dpkg --configure -a

hi,

it now appears you have a conflict between Courier IMAP and Dovecot IMAP. Did you at some point try to switch between the two?
Whichever one is listed under Tools & Settings - Updates & Upgrades - Add/Remove Components - Mail hosting, switch to the other one; and if that throws an error, switch back again.
Next step after that - if you still get an error - would be to uninstall the clashing one manually using CLI. Assuming you want to keep Courier:
Code:
plesk installer --select-release-current --remove-component dovecot

Cheers, Tom
