Adding column while importing to Access - ms-access

Question

Situation:
I am iterating through an Outlook-Mailbox and downloading all attachments into specific folders. Then I am iterating through the folders and import the CSV-Files into Access.
Problem:
I have the Outlook.MailItem.receiveTime property and the sender's name, which I have got from the File Title. I want to add those two pieces of information to each row of each CSV-File.
Question:
Is there a possibility to add those two columns on import or do I have to open each file and iterate through the content to add them?
Little side question:
Would it be possible to import the files directly from Outlook, meaning, without heaving to save them?
Software and languages I use:
-Access 2013
-Outlook 2013
-VBA
-SQL
Little side Information: I am triggering all of this from an Access Form.

You can loop through all CSV files and import each to a table.
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Const strPath As String = "C:\your_path_here\" 'Directory Path
Dim strFile As String 'Filename
Dim strFileList() As String 'File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'File Number
'Loop through the folder & build file list
strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.csv")
While strFile <> ""
'add files to the list
intFile = intFile + 1
ReDim Preserve strFileList(1 To intFile)
strFileList(intFile) = strFile
strFile = Dir()
Wend
'see if any files were found
If intFile = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If
'cycle through the list of files & import to Access
'creating a new table called MyTable
For intFile = 1 To UBound(strFileList)
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelimi, , _
"Test", strPath & strFileList(intFile)
'Check out the TransferSpreadsheet options in the Access
'Visual Basic Help file for a full description & list of
'optional settings
Next
MsgBox UBound(strFileList) & " Files were Imported"
End Sub
If you want to download attachment from Outlook, try this.
Private Sub GetAttachments()
Dim ns As Namespace
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Item As Object
Dim Atmt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim FileName As String
Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = ns.Folders("MailboxName").Folders("Inbox")
If Inbox.Items.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no messages in the Inbox.", vbInformation, _
"Nothing Found"
Exit Sub
End If
For Each Item In Inbox.Items
For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
If Atmt.Type = 1 And InStr(Atmt, "xlsx") > 0 Then
FileName = "C:\attachments\" & Atmt.FileName
Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
End If
Next Atmt
Next Item
End Sub
Set a reference to MS Outlook and remember, the "MailboxName" is your email address.
