I just recently setup roundcube and now playing with it. I have two folders Sent and Sent Items. But RC treat Sent Items also as Sent. So in RC, there is 2 Sent folder. Is there a way I could display Sent and Sent Items in the Folder pane?

This is the result of accessing one mailbox with two different MUA clients, such as Thunderbird and RoundCube, each of which use a different default folder name for storing copies of sent messages. RC uses "Sent" and IIRC TB uses "Sent Items". Substitute Outlook Express or any other client you may be supporting for TB in this discussion.
The fix for this is simply configuring both clients to use the same folder name. Then move all items from the one you plan to remove to the one you plan to keep. Then remove the undesired folder.
If you are supporting multiple TB users on an existing IMAP server, it may be best to simply change the default RC setting that controls this:
/etc/roundcube/main.inc.php ... // store sent message is this mailbox // leave blank if sent messages should not be stored $rcmail_config['sent_mbox'] = 'Sent'; ...
Changing 'Sent' to 'Sent Items' and restarting your web server should be sufficient. You should also take this opportunity to cross reference all the default folder names that TB uses and change those in main.inc.php to match what TB uses.
Thanks Stan for the info. It seems I don't have a choice. I need to rename one of them or do what you suggested.

Thunderbird uses 'Sent'... I know Outlook uses 'Sent Items', and maybe Outlook Express...

That only changes it per user account. As a server admin I'd assume he's looking for a global setting for all users, which is what I mentioned previously.
If Nelson has a mixed client user base, thus multiple different folder names for placing copies of sent emails, he may want to use your suggestion and supply instructions for his users.
Multiple ways to skin this cat. Pick the one that best suits your needs.

there have being talks on dovecot to make it a server option so clients can ask special folders names, but this does require client updates, i think the only way is to let dovecot know client default folder names and keep it same folder on the server, more win win this way, but its already a mess outthere :(
