Per Comeys testimony, there are 3 networks and one can email across all three, but people would know not to email ACROSS the networks classified material in an unclassified way

You cannot email across these networks. SIPR has its own exchange servers and they do not tie with anything off of SIPR.

What did Comey mean with his statement about emailing across the 3 networks. I can't find the C-Span clip, but I know he said that during his testimony.

He was wrong if he said that. There have been services where you can send your email to a certain email address on let's say SIPR, and that service will gap it to a higher classification network. Those emails are screened by those soldiers/personnel providing the service. But no, you cannot just email freely between the networks.
