To convert a PST file that was created by exporting email from Outlook in Windows, you can use libpst. It is in the CentOS 7 base repository.
# yum install libpst
Then, to convert a PST to MBOX:
# readpst my.pst
This will create an mbox file for each of the folders, including sub-folders if they were exported in Outlook.
To convert PST to MBOX, using a third party tool is the best option. There are many of them available, but choosing the right one is a big task. One such tool that I have used for converting my Outlook emails to MBOX is PST to MBOX Converter. By downloading its free demo edition, you can also try it yourself.
