Doesn't it?
When I create a local setup the e-mail works just fine. I don't know the technical background, but think it's because the use of PHP-mail and not an SMTP-server.
On the other hand there is not much need for it to work, unless you're testing a mailfunctionality. The first mail you get is with your useraccount-settings and after that nothing gets send trough. You're already logged in at that time, so if you change your automatically generated password to something you can remember you're fine.
Just don't care
If your local machine does not have a MTA running, the mail won't get sent, but everything will still be working fine. So just put an arbitrary e-mail address in the field and forget about it...
