As Greg said, you probably just need to prefix the file name
with its path when invoking it, in this case "~/.fetchmail" (or
"./.fetchmail" when you already are in your home directory).
If you don't want to have to do that, you could instead move
.fetchmail to ~/bin/, /usr/local/bin/ or some other directory
that is listed in the PATH environment variable (but probably
not /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin or /usr/sbin as these are reserved for
Debian).
