Back Up Opera (Mail (!), bookmarks, contacts, etc.)

Hello, I'm new to Mac and using Opera for a long time. Unfortunately I can't open Opera since thursday night. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Opera 11.52.
I have no idea what I can do. I would like to reinstall Opera, but before I remove the old installation I want to have a back up of the datas like eMail (very important!), etc.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!!

Opera will be coverd by the system-wide Time Machine backup service.

These are the locations to backup:
~/Library/Application Support/Opera/
~/Library/Opera/
~/Library/Preferences/com.operasoftware.Opera.plist

If you type opera:about in Opera’s address field and press Enter, you will see where some common data types are located (like main preference file, bookmarks database, email, and more.) Opera Next?

Thank you for answering!!!

First: I didn't find any of the files you suggested. But that may be, because I never used Time Machine Backup Service. I'm new to Mac and I've never tried it. And as I tried it this morning it told me, that it would have to formate my external disc to do so. So I can't do it right now. :-(
Second: I can't open Opera anymore. It crashes everytime... So I can't write opera:about in Opera's address field to find those files... :-(
