Q: Messages doesn't store chats with bonjour anymore
After the last El Capitan update, the Messages app stopped to work in our local network.
At the moment you can see accounts when starting the app (The computers are visible in the shared section in Finder, too) like here:
If we add "Freelancer" to a chat it is working, but there are no banners on new messages, even they are activated in System preferences. And the Avatar is not displayed.
After you close Messages (and storing of chats is activated in it's preferencesy) and restart the app, the conversation and the account are gone.
If i double click the "Freelancer" in the friends section, i get a Freelancer chat back to the "Chatroom" and it has the same address like as we started, but the conversation is gone.
The avatar is displayed, now, but when we restart the messages app again, the account is gone again.
This wired behavior is on several (all) computers (El Capitan 10.11.3), now, in the local network.
Is there any idea how we can bring back the Messages App just working?....
Best
