I think you mean '!command' (at least in the default keymap)
If you want mutt to do something each start, you could use the push
command. (Look it up in the manual)
push "!fetchmail\n"
or even
push "^g"
if your macro works

I don't have pop support compiled in, so i can't tell for sure, but i
think the default ^g-binding may be in the index/pager keymap where it
has precedence over the generic keymap. So this would help you:
macro index ^g '!fetchmail\n'
macro pager ^g '!fetchmail\n'
Related to this, you could recompile mutt without --enable-pop which
should remove the default ^g-action, too.
