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.
