You are not being neutral by using the Clinton spin of "labeled as classified". The existence of markings is irrelevant. From the FBI statement:

110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified”

I find the situation she engendered as ridiculous as everyone else, but the public report, at least as far as I could tell, did not differentiate sending and receiving of information. Ascribing criminal culpability to her is therefore unclear based on the public form of the report, and the lack of charges implies that it's unclear in the classified version of events as well.
I think people fault her because the server was setup, maintained and used on her authority. Since she created the unsafe situation, she's responsible.
