Keychain Access can occasionally bug out and create issues. This happens especially when you upgrade your macOS or switch to a new Mac. While the Migration Assistant is an amazing tool, we’ve seen that if you chose to defer dealing with Keychain Access, the Messages app sometimes stops working correctly. You can still receive messages (iMessages as well as SMS), but you’re not able to send messages from your Mac. When you try to send, you will get a red exclamation in a circle saying “message could not be sent, try again.”
How to set up Messages on the Mac. Launch Messages from your desktop, dock, or Applications folder. Enter your Apple ID email address and password. If you have two-step or two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple ID, enter your verification code. Click on Messages in the Menu bar. My DMs are all completely erased and I cannot receive any new ones either. This problem only seems to happen on one of my accounts (note I also haven’t been getting the new story features on this account either) as when I switch accounts on the same phone, that account’s features and DMs work perfectly fine.

Deleting the Verizon Messages (Message+) app from a device or switching to another messaging app, even the default messaging app on the device, won't stop the storage of messages.
