But what command did you try to run? You didn't say.

If you are trying to run a script located in the current directory (which
is not and should not be in your PATH by default), you have to specify
the path to the program. Which is ./ for current directory.
./myscript
I have no idea why you have an executable file beginning with a dot.
Files that begin with a dot are traditionally configuration files used
by some other program.
I believe the config file for fetchmail is actually ~/.fetchmailrc and
not ~/.fetchmail but it's been years since I last looked at fetchmail.
