If formail is installed, it's most likely not in your PATH

find / -name formail -print

.. check where the binary is located, and perhaps edit PATH variable..or invoke it by it's absolute path.

PS: it's /usr/bin/formail on my machine.

Thanks for your response.

I checked /usr/bin on my machine and formail doesn't exist. I think so it is not installed.

Now how can i make formail command install on my machine. Is it possible to install only that command?

Well it may just be installed elsewhere on your machine.

formail is actually part of procmail. Check your local machine's package database, or alternatively just run the find command / locate and see what you come up with.
