Change default share via email to use outlook instead of apple mail

I am trying to use outlook as my main email application because apple mail search function takes forever to populate and sort when I search. Outlook is much faster and searching through my multiple accounts for specific keywords etc. I use adobe acrobat a lot and when I click to attach to an email it always wants to open apple mail to attach the pdf. Is there a way to change the default email application from apple mail to outlook? This is across the board in my system, not just acrobat. Looking for a all encompassing system default change to outlook from apple mail.

Thank you very much!! This worked perfectly! I have struggled with this for a very long time, had no idea it was a preference assigned inside of mail... would have thought it was a system preference or some setting in adobe. Thank you!
