I fixed Mail from crashing by removing the plist file and having it rebuild itself, anyone try that for messages and see if that works? Its weird that messages on my Macbook Pro works, but my iMac is the one that locks up/
Got a tip for us?

Doesn't appear to have fixed anything for me. Any resolution to this. Messages had been working and is now completely useless -- hangs and I have to force quit, without it ever even showing me a window.

I was having the same problem with Messages, Photos and a bunch of other apps after updating to the 2nd beta. I actually enabled dark mode and that seems to have fixed it for me. Message, Photos all work now. Go figure.
Yup!
[doublepost=1531100650][/doublepost]Interesting fact that, when I unplugged my external display, things started to work correct. It only happens on my iMac which is interesting.

Mine also started working when I unplugged my display and just used my macbook pros display. So weird.
OK ... this is really interesting. I'm on a TB MacBook Pro (2016) and have continued having problems at work. We thought it might be related to some funky configuration profiles and the network antivirus system because I wasn't having any problems at home/off campus. In my office, though, I use an external display -- and that's the *only* place I have consistent problems with mail and messages. Out of the office (home or even elsewhere on campus), my mac runs trouble-free.
