I wish these were available too, but creating MBOX files is not supported with Outlook for Mac. Likewise, you cannot drag any folder from Outlook to your Desktop to create any sort of archive file. You may be able to use File --> Import… to bring in an MBOX file but I haven’t tested this. >- Reading before Outlook was released, I was under the impression that >Outlook 2011 used the same .pst files as Windows Outlook.

All they would say was that PST support was included. The only PST support is just importing. Outlook for Mac will not create PST files nor will it allow you to modify them like Outlook for Mac. Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see all of these features in future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any Office application.
