On the attached screenshot, you'll see that I checked the Alarm checkbox + to email the alarm to my email-address.
Unfortunately, never ever was an alarm sent by email.
Bug or my misconfiguration ?

Reproducible: Always

What program are you using Calendar in?  If it's in firefox, email alarms are known not to work.  This is stated on the website.

You're right
It's stated on the main page and the FAQ :
** Email alarm works only in Mozilla Thunderbird and the Mozilla Application Suite
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/

** Email alarm WORKS with Mozilla and Thunderbird.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html#difference

I overlooked it. I usually check out release notes.
Weird that it doesn't work, but anyway it's still a bug :)
