A parsing unit (212) parses such a received mail for identifying at least one proposed date and time and at least one participant or organizer (201) for the meeting. A checking unit (207) is connected to the parsing unit (212) and with a secdule database (208) and decides, if the received electronic mail request fulfils the conditions for creation of data field entries in the database (208).
