Speaking from my experience with SugarCRM Community edition (the paid version might be different), the email field appears to be a special field you can't clone using the Admin > Studio. Email Addresses also are not available as a Field Data Type when adding fields using the Studio. You could create a Text or Drop Down field, but it won't have the special handling for email addresses as you'd expect.
I believe you'll need to hack at the source code to get it done. This forum thread has some sample code you might want to try. Also try asking your question on the SugarCRM forums.
