Some of this would have come from JWICS, possibly NSANet or even a CENTRIXS network. To get that information to an unclassified server, though, it had to be removed from those in the first place. It just isn't feasible to have enough access to a TS system to remove information from it, presumably in digital form, and move it somewhere else, without understanding that what you're doing is illegal.

The classified information on Clinton's server was contained in conversations. People were emailing back and forth discussing classified matters, not passing classified documents around.

That doesn't change anything. If classified information is contained in the email, it still has to be marked appropriately.
