Thank you for your reply.
The commands 
 systemctl stop fetchmail.service
 systemctl disable fetchmail.service
doesn't work.
I had tried them before sending my message.
I had tried sudo kill -9 ... without success either.
Finally I purged and reinstalled fetchmail and now :
ps ax | grep fetchmail 

3566 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto fetchmail

no more daemons in the background and I can load my posts with
fetchmail.
(in Bookworm)
The problem is that I don't know how to fix the problem if it
starts again without purging the package :(
