Hi Mojca,

maybe I'm a little bit late with my answer but I stumpled across this
question after I was searching for something in the archive and I found
the following solution.

[...]
\startbodymatter
\page[odd] % only \page give a empty before the \section
\setuppagenumber[number=1]
\setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \lastpagenumber] % no \totalnumber...
\dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} }
\stopbodymatter
[...]

Wolfgang
