Is there a way to set Outlook as the default mail client on Mac without first opening Mail and going to preferences- for example on the command line? I have an admin access widget so I've been able to do most things required thusfar.
It seems like an anti-pattern to be required to open a program you don't want to use anymore to make something else the default. Thanks!!
EDIT: LaunchServices (which is accessible via python) seemed to be the trick.

You only need a few lines of code but strangely it didn't work with Python3
>>> import LaunchServices
>>> result = LaunchServices.LSSetDefaultHandlerForURLScheme("mailto", "com.microsoft.Outlook")
