IMAP sever not working 35 weeks 3 days ago

Hi, this is my first post so excuse me if I do something stupid.

I recently tried to setup a Mail Server at my Fedora install. I've installed and configured Dovecot, Roundcube and Postfix to work with SSL.

Among others things I'm in charge of a Debian GNU/Linux (Wheezy) DomU for the mail services of the company i work for. Yesterday one HDD that was used for this particular server has died. After installing Debian again, Dovecot decided to no longer listen on any ports (checked with netstat -l).

I've been fighting with Dovecot and Postfix for nearly 3 days now - I need some help!...

It seems Dovecot is not generating the private/auth file required for connections.
