A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MAILTOLOC file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MAILTOLOC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple

This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MAILTOLOC file again. However, some background programs may block the MAILTOLOC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
