Opera Mail - corrupted omailbase.dat file

My Opera 11.51 has stopped showing any emails.
Comparing the Mail folder with a backup I can see that the omailbase.dat folder is only 1024 bytes instead of many megabytes in the backup file. Unfortunately the backup is a couple of weeks old and I have sent/received a large number of mails since then.
Looking in the Store/Accounts folders I can see that the individual .mbs files for the emails are intact. Is it possible to reconstruct the omailbase.dat file?

Edit: If it's relevant, there are 9 separate POP email accounts

Thanks. I had found that but I was hoping there was an easier way.
Looks like I will have to do it.
