Hopefully this is right!
When you want something which can be used for
\setupletterstyle[<1>][alternative=<2>]
you need \defineletterelement[<1>][<2>]{...}, which
\setlettervalue{}{} you set
a variable which can be used with \lettervalue{}, e.g.
\usemodule[letter]
\defineletterelement[foot][myalternative]{\midaligned{Can you see me?}}
\setupletterstyle[footer][alternative=myalternative]
\setlettervalue{bankleitzahl}{7643}
%\setlettervalue{kontonummer}{}
\starttext \startletter
\lettervalue{bankleitzahl}
\doifelselettervalue{kontonummer}
{Die Kontonummer lautet \lettervalue{kontonummer}}
{Keine Kontonummer angegeben}
\stopletter \stoptext

So let's test if I have understand this:
With
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=no|yes]
one can disable|enable a backaddress.
With
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=no|yes|auto]
one can select between
no backadress|
a composed backaddress from the fromdata|
the yes behaviour if no predefined backaddress is defined
And to define such a own backaddress, one uses
\setlettervalue{backaddress}{something}
Hopefully this is right!

You're mixing different things.
What is the difference between
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
In t-letter.tex you can fint this:
\startsetups[\v!letter:\v!layer]
\doif\lsoptionmarking
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!foldmark }}
\doif\lsoptionbackaddress\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!backaddress}}
\doif\lsoptionaddress
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!address}}
\doif\lsoptionreference
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!reference }}
\doif\lsoptionlocation
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!location }}
\doif\lsoptionlettermain
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!lettermain }}
\doif\lsoptionletternext
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!letternext }}
\stopsetups
With \setupletterstyle[=yes|no] you can show or hide elements
(like the foldmarks or the backaddress) in the output.
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=yes]
In 'default.nli' I found
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!auto]
{\doifelselettervalue\c!backaddress
{\lettervalue\c!backaddress}
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}}
what I interpret in the following way:
If 'backaddress'=auto
If exist a constant 'backaddress'
use it
else
compose one from 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
The constant needs a content, if there is no content for 'backadress'
the field is filled with 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'.
\defineletterelements creates a macro, where the first argument is
the name of the elements and the second a name for the alternative,
e.g. \defineletterelement[][]{definition}
You can use the created element with
\setupletterstyle[][alternative=],
in your case \setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=auto]
When you don't like this mechanism you can use the internal
element setups itself with
\startsetups letter:backaddress
...
\stopsetups

I do not understand the the main principle.
What is the difference between
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
and
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=yes]
In 'default.nli' I found
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!auto]
{\doifelselettervalue\c!backaddress
{\lettervalue\c!backaddress}
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}}
what I interpret in the following way:
If 'backaddress'=auto
If exist a constant 'backaddress'
use it
else
compose one from 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
To use this, I tried to set
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=auto]
or
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=auto]
And I tried to set this constant backaddress, with
setlettervalue{backaddress}{something}
But no combination is working.
What worked is
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
\setlettervalue{backaddress}{something}
which should not work, because
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!yes]
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}
is composing the 'backaddress' from the fromdata.
My skills to read the sourcecode are very limited, so most likely I
buhave something misunderstood.

Another possibility would be removing the "backaddress=yes" switch

I will move this option in the next relase from \setupletter[backaddress=...]
to \setupletterstyle[backaddress][option][alternative=...] because it works
also with normal text as argument for \setupletter[backaddress=...].

I uploaded a new release with the option "yes", "auto" and "no" for the
backaddress key, yes and auto use fromname and fromaddress,
no sets no backaddress and you can write a cutomized backaddress
with anything else as content for the backaddress key.

I'm sorry, didn't think of that. It makes sense, of course.

I've just tried this quickly and this seems even better … then what
about removing the option "backaddress=yes" from "\setupletterstyle"
and provide a key "auto" for "backaddress" in "\setupletter"? Thus:
1. No backaddress line
\setupletter
[fromname={Arthur Thor},
fromaddress={Hidden Street 2\\57895 Mysterytown}]
2. backaddress line generated from sender information
\setupletter
[fromname={Arthur Thor},
fromaddress={Hidden Street 2\\57895 Mysterytown},
backaddress=auto]
3. Custom backaddress
\setupletter
[fromname={Arthur Thor},
fromaddress={Hidden Street 2\\57895 Mysterytown},
backaddress={Thor Inc., Mystery Street 5, 59875 Hidden Town}]

I could support name=yes and alike but I can't drop the
\setupletter[list=...] because you need it to define your own reference
line with personalized elements, e.g. your working in a company
a put a sign for the letter there plus the number of the office etc.
KOMA-Script handles this with the \setkomavar commands but you
have to put the settings for values in the right order in the source.

Have you tried what will happen with a enabled backaddress and
no value for backaddress, fromname and fromaddress are shown
as backaddress but I don't rely on this feature and change it to
waht you suggested.

Thanks very much, this works!
Still a minor suggestion regarding the interface: I guess at the
moment it's slightly inconsistent because on the one hand one has
\setupletterstyle
[backaddress=yes]
and on the other hand
\setupletter
[list={name,phone,fax,date}]
Note that both commands actually implement boolean switches, namely,
whether backaddress, name etc. should be displayed or not. For
consistency reasons these switches should perhaps be interfaced in the
same way, e.g. by "name=yes" etc.
Another possibility would be removing the "backaddress=yes" switch
completely. Then if backaddress data is supplied it's printed along
with the line below and if not, well, then leave out the separator line.
What do you think?

And add \setupletterstyle[backaddress=yes] to your file
because the backaddress is disabled by default.

There is nothing wrong with your file, I just forgot to add it.
Try the following patch, I will release a new version ASAP. Please give
me a feedback if this did work.
\unprotect
\startsetups[letter:backaddress]
\def\\{\lettervalue{\c!backaddress\c!separator}}
\doifelselettervalue\v!backaddress
{\lettervalue\v!backaddress}
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}
\stopsetups
\protect

[NTG-context] Letter backaddress
Dear Wolfgang,
I'm struggling with the backaddress option … I tried the following code
---
\usemodule[letter]
\starttext
\setupletter
[fromname={Arthur Thor},
fromaddress={Hidden Street 2\\57895 Mysterytown},
backaddress={Arthur Thor, Hidden Street 2, 57895 Mysterytown}]
\setupletter
[toname={Mike Willson},
toaddress={Lindenstreet 12\\78569 TeX City}]
\startletter
[subject={Step by step guide to writing a letter},
opening={Dear Reader,},
closing={Greetings from the Author}]
\input knuth
\stopletter
\stoptext
---
but couldn't see the backaddress line in the output. What do I have to
change?
Best wishes,
Oliver
