As wolfgang already wrote

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setupitemize[2][stopper={:},left={\kern2.10em},width=\dimexpr 2.10em+1em\relax]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startitemize
       \item This is the first item of outer list.
               \startitemize[a]
                       \item Context is great. The more I use it the more it
                       \item Hope it continues to develop further.
               \stopitemize
       \item This is the second item of outer list. Margin command does not
work below.
               \startitemize[a]
                       \item Context is great. The more I use it the
more I love it.
                       \item Hope it continues to develop further.
               \stopitemize
\stopitemize
\input tufte
\stoptext
