MBOX file format is most commonly used industry standard “mail box” file format. It can contain zero or more email messages. Many email applications (on Windows as well as Mac) support import from MBOX files whereas PST file format is Outlook Specific file format. So if you want to transfer your mails from Outlook to these applications (such as Microsoft Entourage and Apple Mail etc.) you should convert emails from Outlook to MBOX (or PST to MBOX).
