Q: imessages won't stick on restart.

Everytime i send a message on my Mac to a friend the text disappear after i quit iMessage. If i send a text from my iphone to myself on the mac it's the same. I'ts gone the next time i open IMessages. I use El Capitan 10.11.6.

The problem started after a clean install and i tried to import my iMesseages history. Iv'e got the messages back but now i have this problem. So the last messages is from the import and after that it won't stay.

Hi,

 

In ~/Library/Messages do you own the three Chat.db items ?

    Hi and thanks for the input. I changed the rights to the 3 files chat.db, chat.db-shm and chat.db-wal. Now the messages stay when i restart. Thanx again.
