Adding events to CiviEvent from an email account

It would look something like this:
I send an invitation from outlook to a certain email address. Then CiviCRM gets the event from the email account and adds it to its own database. The email account checking should be done periodically, cron maybe?

Would this be too hard to do?

should not be too hard to do. depends on how "well formatted" the email is and how good your regular expressions are :)

Check bin/EmailProcessor.php for code to interact with an IMAP/POP folder
