They are not being informed that their actual email account is compromised. They are simply being told that their email address and an associated password was located in some csv file somewhere.

You use your email as an identifier/username by default for numerous services so without them specifying anything further this information isn't exceptionally meaningful. If you use the same password for your email provider as you do other services, then you've got bigger problems(Please don't do this)
