I am using SOGo in a simple setup for personal use without Samba/LDAP on Debian Wheezy myself.
As SOGo does not include any kind of user management, you need an existing user source that holds the user credentials (e.g., mail address, name, password). This could be either a MySQL/PostgreSQL Database or LDAP. Since you have a running Postfix + Dovecot setup you're probably having such a user source for virtual mail users already (Check your Postfix and Dovecot configuration). SOGo must be configured to use that existing user source for authentication. I suggest you use an existing Webinterface as Postfixadmin or the more modern VimbAdmin to manage your mail users.
