Do you want to never get iMessages on your Mac? If so, go into Preferences in iMessages on the Mac and sign out of the iMessage account.
I don't mind having iMessages on my Mac, I just don't want them appearing each time I boot. I was on Mavericks before El Capitan and never had this issue. I just want to open the iMessages up myself whenever I want to respond on my Mac instead of my iPhone.
Are you stating that the physical Messages application is opening on boot or that you are seeing notifications for pending messages on your iPhone every time you boot?
I have the latter happen on mine. Even if iMessage isn't open, pending iMessages will appear in the Notifications area as they arrive on my Mac.
It's the physical messages application thats opening on each boot. Where I can start new messages or continue texting where I left off on my iPhone. The application never opened on each boot before until i upgraded to El Capitan. I don't mind closing or minimizing the application each time however there should be a way where they wouldn't show unless you click on the iMessages.
I figured it out. There's an option under messages to hide messages. Now when i boot my iMessages do not open automatically.
