There seems to be some confusion around whether that .fetchmail file is 
the executable or the config file. Perhaps the OP could elucidate? I 
doubt we are going to nail it until that is clear, except by accident.

If it is the binary, suggest you lose the . and listen to the advice of 
people suggesting you prefix with ./ . If it is the config file, as some 
people seem to be guessing, then it has nothing to do with a command not 
found error and you should be focused on where the binary is. which 
fetchail or locate fetchmail may help.
