Does anybody know of a tweak that enables changing the default mail app? There's plenty of ways to change default browser and maps for example, but I'm happy enough with Safari and maps. I'd really like to make outlook my default email client though!

Why do you need to change the mail app just for Outlook? I have Outlook on my Mail app, along with 5 Gmail accounts and 2 others. You can make which ever one you want as your default. Just go here and choose your default.

I much prefer outlook in general for a number of reasons and I find it an annoyance that when I click a link or try to send a file as an attachment that it opens Apple mail.

Surely there must be a tweak that just opens outlook instead of mail?

You refer to the Outlook email app. No, all goes to and from your default in the stock Mail app. You can add Outlook to the stock app, make it your default, and also use the Outlook mail app. I've done that with Gmail.

I know you can add any number of accounts to the stock mail app, including outlook and can then set any of them as the default account to use for outgoing mail. I mean the Outlook app itself. I don't have my accounts setup in the stock app, nor do I want to. I use the Outlook app exclusively and would like a system wide tweak that would open Outlook to compose a new email when I click a mailto link, rather than the stock mail.app.
