Not being familiar with the nnfolder backend (I use nnml), I can't
answer your question.  I can note that nnml fetches mail automatically
when Gnus is launched, which appears to be the default behavior.  You
could consider using a different backend.

Have you read the information and tutorials at http://my.gnus.org?
