You forgot to call for the parent field, which btw is not a \mainfield.
You also forgot to setup this parent.  The next source shows a way out
and also minimizes the setups. 

\setupinteraction
  [state=start]

\setupcolors
  [state=start]

\setupfield
  [DefaultLine,LeftLine,MiddleLine,RightLine]
  [background=color,
   backgroundcolor=yellow,
   offset=2ex,
   height=7ex,
   width=.25\hsize,
   style=type]

\setupfield [LeftLine]   [align=left]
\setupfield [MiddleLine] [align=middle]
\setupfield [RightLine]  [align=right]

\definefield [MainMail] [line]       [DefaultLine] [] [me@here.there]

\clonefield  [MainMail] [LeftMail]   [LeftLine]
\clonefield  [MainMail] [MiddleMail] [MiddleLine]
\clonefield  [MainMail] [RightMail]  [RightLine]

\starttext

  \field [MainMail]    \vfill
  \field [LeftMail]    \vfill
  \field [MiddleMail]  \vfill
  \field [RightMail]

\stoptext
