It didn't need to be. You could just say "An external movemail
process fetches mail into my display-time-mail-directory."
If your system supports POSIX threads, Commercial Emacs will fetch
asynchronously out of the box.
Here's the shell invocation that proves the point:
emacs -Q --eval "(custom-set-variables \
(quote (gnus-select-method (quote (nnnil \"\")))) \
(quote (gnus-use-dribble-file nil)) \
(quote (gnus-large-newsgroup nil)) \
)" \
-l nnnil \
--eval "(defun nnnil-request-scan (&optional group server) (sleep-for 10))" \
--eval "(cl-letf (((symbol-function (quote gnus-y-or-n-p)) (function ignore))) \
(call-interactively (quote gnus-child)))"
