Don't know if this is the problem here, but downloading lenny packages to etch doesn't help.
Update your sources.list to oldstable or upgrade to lenny.
Looks to me you had courier-imap-ssl already installed anyway.

Do a "locate prerm|grep ssl" and see if there's a prerm script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/.
Add a row "exit 0" after the "set -e" line and try "dpkg --configure -a"
