change default email client to outlook

How do I change the email client that is selected when I (for example) want to mail a MS Office document from the File>Share>Email (as attachment) menu option ? Right now it pops the file into Mail (the OSX native mail client). I want to have the default be Outlook.

Hey,

Once you set the default mail reader as Microsoft Outlook, a restart of the laptop is required. Hopefully this should help! This should work with both 2011 and 2016 version of outlook.
