SITUATION: After a reboot yesturday, when I opened Messages on my iMac, the history side panel was empty (except for one random message).
![Screen Shot 2021-08-29 at 1.42.32 AM.png]( "Screen Shot 2021-08-29 at 1.42.32 AM.png")
My history of messages are still on my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. The message files are still in the archive folder of ~/library/messages.
New messages come in fine, but don't connect to the old messages to build the history on the imac.
FIX ATTEMPTS: Another restart - nothing.
Toggled iCloud sync. - nothing
deleted ichat preference - nothing
used ONYX to clean various caches and stuff (also to try fixing another problem where some media files are listing as folders) - nothing
disabled/re-enabled (signed out/in) of Apple account for messages. - nothing
Left on for a while to see if slowly rebuilt - nothing.
Supposition: Messing around with one of these might do it, but I have no idea what.

QUERY: Can anyone help me out on what to do next?
